The six-time Chief Minister of the state has also contributed a lot to the development of the state, so his statue will be installed in his memory.

The Chief Minister said that the assembly by-elections in the state have been a part of the political conspiracy of the BJP. He said that everyone saw the way unsuccessful attempts were made to destabilize the Congress government with full majority in the state using money power. He said that the assembly by-elections are the gift of the BJP.

Sukhu said that the premature resignation of three independent MLAs from the assembly is also a part of BJP’s conspiracy. He said that this was probably the first time in the history of the country when an independent has resigned from the assembly before time saying that they were not being heard in the Congress government. He called it completely ridiculous and said that an independent MLA who has won and reached the assembly can support any party. In such a situation, only he can tell why he felt the need to resign from his post. He said that in front of money power, these independent MLAs have resigned from their posts and now their defeat in these elections is certain. He said that people had elected them to the assembly for full five years and they have broken the trust of the people.

Sukhu said that the victory of Congress is certain in the three by-elections and after this the number of Congress MLAs in the state will increase from 38 to 41. He said that the Congress government in the state is completely strong and stable and will complete its term successfully.
