Shimla November 2
Even as price rise and anti-incumbency are being termed the major factors for BJP's polls debacle, Pratibha Singh chose to credit her victory to development works undertaken by previous Congress regimes.
Pratibha thanked all Congress workers who worked day and night. They undertook door-to-door campaign and took her message to people.
She said voters, keeping all factors in mind, voted in favour of the Congress and knew whom to make their representative. "I feel the biggest issue that went in our favour was development, undertaken by previous Congress regimes," she said. She admitted that price rise too was a major factor which helped the Congress.
She dismissed allegations levelled against her during the campaign. "It is natural during the elections to level baseless allegations, which we faced and the public rejected," she said. She said people rejected BJP propaganda outright and made Congress victorious.
She said the people had made up their mind to vote the BJP out of power and the focus now would be on bringing Congress back to power in Himachal in the next Assembly elections due next year. — TNS
