CM has already conceded defeat in Bhoranj bypoll: Bindal

BJP MLA from Nahan and Chief spokesperson Rajiv Bindal on Wednesday said that the Congress party has already accepted defeat in Bhoranj assembly by-elections and Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh’s statement proves the point.

Bindal said in a statement, Virbhadra Singh said if they do not win in Bhoranj, then he would lose faith in democracy. “The Chief Minister, on one hand, is hurt by change of candidate for Bhoranj bypoll, one the other hand, he seems to be vary of party candidate’s defeat,” he said.

He said the people of Bhoranj would vote for BJP as the government only promoted mafia raj in the state during four years rule instead of fulfilling promises made during 2012 assembly polls.

“The government has also failed in protecting the interests of employees, farmers and unemployed youth and now Congress would have face the consequences for the same,” he added.
