Riding high on bypoll victories, Cong is capitalising on the positives to conquer the larger territory during Assembly elections. Sangeeta Sharma traces the party’s movement
While expressing his happiness over Congress victory in the bypolls, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that the countdown of the BJP government’s exit has started. He accused the BJP government of working with a sense of revenge and reiterated that Congress government will be formed in Rajasthan and also at the Centre.
He credited the victory in the bypolls to congress national president Rahul Gandhi and said that because of his thinking and hard work, Congress emerged stronger in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly and now his focus will be Rajasthan. “The government at the Centre and in the state only misled the people and the result of this was that in spite of BJP being in power, the people now know their reality and chose not to trust their sugar coated promises and speeches that they delivered in the two Lok Sabha and one assembly elections held in the state. And with the intention of teaching BJP a lesson, people voted for Congress.
