CHANDIGARH: Although BJP has brought Himachal Pradesh chief minister and Union minister hailing from the state for campaigning in the municipal corporation (MC) elections, the party will face a humiliating defeat like it did in the Himachal bypolls,” said Kuldeep Singh Rathore, president, Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC), who was in the city for the campaigning of Congress candidates.
Rajinder Rana, vice-president of HPCC and Congress coordinator for MC polls said, “People of Himachal Pradesh have shown the way to the ruling BJP in Himachal Pradesh by giving Congress one Lok Sabha and three assembly seats in the bypolls held recently. The BJP is going to meet the same fate in Chandigarh. People are not going to be lured by false promises of BJP.”
Rathore said the Narendra Modi government was forced to reduce excise duty on petrol and diesel after their resounding defeat in the by-elections.
