Congress party has lost all the four Lok Sabha seats for the third time in a row : Satti
MLA and former state president of BJP Satpal Singh Satti, while countering the statement of the state’s Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri that there is a market of MLAs in Himachal Pradesh, said that we know how markets are set up to buy voters in your assembly constituency during elections. He said that Mukesh Agnihotri, who from time to time keeps making baseless allegations of buying MLAs against the BJP, the reality is that the Congress party is not able to handle its own clan and the ministers, MLAs are upset with their own government and now when their own people have turned against them, they are trying to hide their failures by blaming the BJP.
Satpal Satti said that Mukesh Agnihotri, while commenting on the Leader of Opposition, says that Jairam Thakur has got a coat stitched. On this, the BJP leader said that Mukesh Agnihotri had also got several coats stitched to become the Chief Minister during the elections, but Sukhwinder Sukhu foiled his plans and three Congress MLAs of Una district left Mukesh Agnihotri and stood in the camp of Chief Minister Sukhu. Not a single Congress MLA of Una district is with Mukesh Agnihotri and he goes around calling himself the leader of the state. The condition of the Deputy Chief Minister is such that even the high command of the Congress party does not consider him anything. He worked hard throughout the elections but got nothing. Mukesh Agnihotri is roaming around as Abdullah in someone else’s wedding.
Satpal Satti said that Mukesh Agnihotri repeatedly talks about the assembly elections but he should not forget that the Congress party has lost all the four Lok Sabha seats for the third time in a row and the BJP has gained a lead in 61 out of 68 assembly constituencies. Mukesh Agnihotri was also able to give Congress a lead of only 1500 votes from his assembly constituency. During the Lok Sabha elections, Congress was not even able to find candidates to contest the elections and the same is the situation in the by-elections of three assemblies where the Congress party workers got into a scuffle over finalizing the names of the candidates.
He said that we know that Congress was forced to field the Chief Minister’s wife in the Dehra assembly elections due to lack of a candidate and is taking the name of the high command, whereas the reality is that the government has no achievements of its own on the basis of which it can contest the elections. Therefore, in these by-elections, Congress leaders are only and only falsely slandering BJP leaders. This shows how popular the government is. The same is the situation in Nalagarh assembly constituency where a person has been made the candidate whose father had tried to burn senior Congress leaders Anand Sharma, OP Ratan and Vijay Kumar Joshi alive by pouring oil on them. The Congress party has marginalized its workers, otherwise what was the reason to bring workers from Parwanoo for Nalagarh assembly, did they not have any workers in Nalagarh?
Satpal Satti said that this government started with false guarantees. Every year one lakh unemployed youth were duped in the name of giving jobs, women, farmers and gardeners were cheated, government institutions were closed, this government is a government of lockdown and in the one and a half year tenure, they do not have a single achievement to tell the public, so they want to remain in the headlines of newspapers by making baseless statements, but the people of the state have understood their intentions very well and after the results of three by-elections, the Congress party will be exposed.
