Congress MP Francisco Sardinha said that the Congress is the “only party” which can defeat the BJP and hence Rahul Gandhi should now stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra and go to Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat to campaign for the Assembly polls.
Congress MP Franciso Sardinha after casting his vote for the next Congress said “ I want Rahul Gandhi to stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra and go to Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat to awaken the public so that they vote for the party that can defeat BJP. The only party that can be an opposition to BJP is congress”.
Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh, the northern state’s BJP core group meeting was held in the national capital on Monday. The meeting was held at the Haryana Bhawan in Delhi today. Chief minister Jairam Thakur, BJP State President Suresh Kashyap, National vice president and election in-charge Saudan Singh, and Central Minister Anurag Thakur were present for the meeting.
Earlier, the Election Commission on Friday declared that assembly polls will be held in Himachal Pradesh on November 12 and the counting of votes will take place on December 8.
The 182 -seat Gujarat Assembly will go to polls later this year. Sardinha, who is also a former Chief Minister of Goa, made this claim after casting his vote and also alleged that there is no point in contesting when one knows that their defeat is confirmed.
The 3500-km yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir is observing a “rest -day” on the day of voting for the next president.
Sonia Gandhi is the party’s longest serving president, having held the office for over 20 years from 1998-2017 and since 2019. This time no member of the Gandhi family is contesting for the post of president. This is the sixth time in its nearly 137 year history that polls are being conducted to elect the national president of the party. In the 2017 elections, Rahul Gandhi became the party president unopposed.
