Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], July 13 (ANI): Congress candidates, who won the two assembly bypolls in Uttarakhand, thanked people for their support and said the results are significant for the party in the state.
Qazi Mohammad Nizamuddin, who won the Manglaur assembly seat, said it is victory of democracy.
“This is a big win of Congress. It is a win for all our MLAs and Congress leaders. This win is ‘lathtantra ke upar loktantra ki jeet’ (victory of democracy over hooliganism),” Nizamuddin said.
Congress candidate Lakhapat Singh Butola, who won Badrinath assembly seat, thanked people of his constituency.
“I want to thank the people of Badrinath…the credit for this goes to all those who directly and indirectly supported me in this fight for justice,” he said.
Congress leader Harish Rawat also hailed victory of party candidates.
“It is a victory of the morale of the people. The government showed its autocratic face and showed force,” Rawat alleged.
“People of the country showed their opposition and made the Congress party win. It is the justice of Lord Ram who made a Congress candidate win in the city of Ayodhya and now the same happened in Uttarakhand today. We will keep winning. BJP’s days have gone. Badrinath victory is big. It is similar to Congress’ victory in Ayodhya,” he added. (ANI)
