“Ek Ke badle das” (ten for one) - Sounds like an athematic jargon, not a realistic hypothesis. But, it’s election time, and such slogans in the politics are good to woo the public, including the hill state witnessing election to four Parliamentary constituencies and six bypolls to the state Assembly.
Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, whose government nearly survived a topple bid and lost a Rajya Sabha seat through cross-voting, is asking the people to give the ruling party a sweeping victory on the seats—Mandi, Kangra, Hamirpur, and Shimla (R) with Assembly bypolls. It will be a befitting treat for the Congress to win 10 seats against one, ie a Rajya Sabha seat “stolen away dishonestly by the BJP”.
In an exclusive interview with Millennium Post, Sukhu said the BJP faces a tough contest on all the four Lok Sabha seats, and the Congress will have the upper hand. There is no possibility for BJP hitting any hat-trick this time as claimed by the leader of the Opposition, Jairam Thakur.
“Jairam Thakur says even God can’t save this (Congress) government. It will cease to exist after June 4 when the results of six Assembly constituencies as also the Lok Sabha are declared. Tell me, tell him (Thakur), the government is strong like a rock. His operation lotus has failed, and now his film – Kangana (Ranaut) Mandi ke Angana, will also flop”.
