Shimla November 2
Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president Kuldeep Rathore today said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur should resign on moral ground as the BJP drubbing in the by-polls was a referendum on state government functioning.
Addressing a press conference here today, he said the bypolls were a reflection of the public anger against the poor governance by the BJP regime. "The Congress led in nine of the 17 Assembly segments in Mandi parliamentary seat and won all three Assembly by-polls which clearly reflects the public disenchantment from the BJP," he said.
He said the Congress would win the next Assembly election as people have made up their mind to vote the BJP which had failed to check price rise and growing unemployment.
"The fact that the Congress got a clear lead in the postal ballots also reflects the angst of the employees against both state and the Modi-led government," he claimed. He thanked the voters for reposing faith in the Congress and said the party will continue raising public issues.
