Chandigarh, may 19

Former Union Minister and Congress candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal expects a big victory. Talking to reporters after casting his vote at a booth in a government school at Sector 28, Bansal said an overwhelming enthusiasm shown by people for polling in the city was a clear indication that they want change, and “the Congress is going to win from Chandigarh with a big margin”. On ‘Modi factor’, Bansal said the election in Chandigarh was fought on local issues as people saw no development in the past five years.

Bansal, who came along with his wife Madhu Bansal and two sons, waited for more than an hour in a long queue to exercise his franchise. — TNS
