Sanjay Awasthi has expressed happiness over the spectacular victory in two out of three assembly by-elections
State Congress Working President Chief Parliamentary Secretary Sanjay Awasthi has expressed happiness over the spectacular victory in two out of three assembly by-elections in the state and thanked the voters. He has said that this victory has proved that the people of the state are standing strongly with the Congress government. He has given the credit of this victory to all the party ministers, senior leaders, officials and workers under the leadership of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri, State Congress President Pratibha Singh.
Sanjay Awasthi said here today that the BJP has been completely exposed for its conspiracies in the state. The BJP should now apologize to the people of the state for the crime it has committed by imposing 9 assembly by-elections on the state.
Sanjay Awasthi has criticized the BJP and said that the way its former Chief Minister, State President and other leaders tried unsuccessfully to mislead people by doing low level politics during the elections was very reprehensible. He said that after the results of these by-elections, on one hand, Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has become politically very strong, while the number of Congress MLAs in the state assembly has also increased to 40. He said that the BJP State President, who kept claiming to form a Congress-free government in Himachal and to oust the government with full majority from power, today he himself has become BJP-free from all five assembly constituencies in his district Solan.
Awasthi said that BJP now needs to introspect after these election results. The way they tried to destabilize the Congress government which has full majority in the state, by bribing 6 Congress and 3 independent MLAs and making them their candidates in these by-elections, three of them had to face defeat. He said that the people of the state have shown the mirror of its political conspiracy to BJP, so now it should cooperate with the state government and play a positive role of opposition.
While congratulating the newly elected MLAs on their election, Sanjay Awasthi also wished them all the best for their new political future.
