Congress will win all 4 seats in Himachal bypolls: Kaul Singh

Mandi, October 24
Senior Congress leader Kaul Singh Thakur claimed that the Congress would win all four seats (three assemblies and one parliamentary) in byelections.
“Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur is in dilemma due to huge response from the people in favour of Congress candidates in these respective constituencies. Now, the CM is addressing small meetings in streets to woo voters. If the CM had done development works in the past four years, he would not have had to address small meetings in streets,” Kaul Singh said.
“Fearing defeat, the CM has now involved senior BJP leader and former CM Shanta Kumar in the election campaign in Mandi to attract voters. The former CM had announced his retirement from active politics,” he said.
Targeting the BJP, Kaul Singh said the party always played politics in the name of Indian Army, which should not happen.
“The state government failed miserably to ensure the progress of the state. In Mandi district, of the 10 Assembly constituencies, development took place only in two Assembly constituencies, Seraj and Dharampur, the home constituencies of CM and Jal Shakti Minister Mahender Singh Thakur,” he added.
