Himachal CM’s appeal yielded win for party in Mandi

Mandi, April 10

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur’s emotional appeal to the people of Mandi to vote for the BJP in the Municipal Corporation elections brought good results for the party on Wednesday, while infighting was responsible for the defeat of the Congress. The BJP won 11 of the 15 wards, while the Congress emerged victorious in the remaining four wards in Mandi, the home district of the Chief Minister.

Thakur had campaigned relentlessly in all 15 wards in support of the BJP candidates and raised the stakes with “a matter of Mandi pride” appeal to the people.

On the other hand, the infighting in the Congress was responsible for its debacle in the MC elections. — TNS
