In Chhattisgarh, in a blow to the Congress, the state Congress working president and legislator Ram Dayal Uike joined BJP ahead of the assembly elections in presence of BJP’s National president Amit Shah at a function in Bilaspur.
Uike represents the Pali-Tanakhar assembly constituency in the state legislative assembly.
The senior tribal leader was appointed state working president of Chhattisgarh earlier this year.
