JAWALAMUKHI: Senior B J P Leader incharge of Himachal affairs Sat pal Jain today said after the party's victory in Hamirpur parliamentary constituency with 80,000 plus margin followed by its victory in the last assembly elections where party was voted to power and a victory in the recently concluded Rajya Sabha elections was a case in point.
The BJP's candidate from Hamirpur constituency, which goes to the polls on May 22, Anurag Thakur, would win the by-elections with a huge margin and set the trend for the next general elections wherein the party will sweep all the four seats in the state, he added. ''The last parliamentary by-elections ushered in a Congress rout in Himachal Pradesh, while the ensuing by-elections will lay the foundation of a BJP Government in the Centre,'' he added. He said despite an assured victory in the Hamirpur by-elections, the party organization was not at ease and would seek peoples' support at the polling booth level. Mr Jain, said the Congress party had no moral right to seek the support of the people in these elections. ''Soaring prices and a humiliated and divided state Congress organization were the factors that will spell doom for their candidate,'' he said. The BJP leader said that the Congress had no any right to seek public mandate since the people of the state had totally rejected them just three months ago. The coming years belong to the BJP, which would have government at the Centre and the states, he said. Jain said the Chief Minister's son Anurag Thakur had active involvement in politics and by no means his nomination and pitting for the Hamirpur Parliamentary Constituency was wrong. The BJP leader, taking strong exception of the tirade Congress leaders in the state had launched against party's decision of fielding Thakur, said all consecutive Congress government offering of administrative position to less experienced predecessors in Centre had begun a new trend of political inheritance. He said Rahul Gandhi was a novice in politics as compared to Anurag Thakur, who had more active involvement in politics and had fought long legal battle to restore Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association with the role of media advisor of the BJP in general assembly elections, he added. |
