Hinting at an "earlier than expected comeback to power", former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan assured voters as the Kamal Nath-led Congress may not last its full term of five years. 

"Tiger abhi zinda hai (The King is still alive)", Chouhan said in Bollywood style as Bharatiya Janata Party workers shouted slogans of his return in five years. 

Chouhan, who ruled the state for three straight terms before being ousted in a close contest in the assembly elections, was meeting his supporters at the Chief Minister's residence late Wednesday night.

"Don't worry about your future. Don't be despondent over what will happen to you, for I will be back," he told his supporters.

"Maybe it will not take an entire five years, may be I will be back sooner than you expect," Chouhan added.

The Congress won 114 seats in the 230-member House. It fell two short of the magic number in a contest with the BJP (109) that went down to the wire. 

However, the Congress ensured the support of 121 MLAs with the Samajwadi Party (one), Bahujan Samaj Party (two) and four Independents backing it.
