INDIA bloc's spectacular victory is a befitting reply to BJP's divisive politics ,says KC Venugopal

He said that out of 13 seats in Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Punjab and Tamil Nadu, the INDIA block won 10 seats. The public has rejected the BJP's policies and divisive politics against the common people and the youth.

The Congress General Secretary said that in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress party has further strengthened its position by winning two of the three seats of Dehra and Nalagarh, taking its tally to 40 seats in the Assembly. This victory is a testimony to the unwavering faith of the people of Himachal Pradesh. They have rejected the BJP's politics of power-change and defection.

He alleged that despite the BJP's efforts to weaken democracy, truth and the will of the people have emerged victorious.

K.C. Venugopal said that similarly in Uttarakhand, the Congress has emerged victorious in both Badrinath and Mangalore seats. This significant victory in Ayodhya and now Badrinath sends a clear message that the people do not support the misuse of religion for political gains. Today's results are also a victory of democracy and constitutional values. The public has prioritised welfare and inclusiveness over divisive tactics and power-grabbing politics.

He further said that the Congress Party reiterates its commitment to uphold its public interest agenda and democratic values. We are grateful for the trust the people have shown in us, and pledge to continue serving with renewed vigour during the remainder of our term and in all future elections. This victory would not have been possible without the hard work of the Pradesh Congress Committee leaders and candidates, besides the guidance of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, CPP Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
