Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh today said the poor show by Congress in the recent assembly polls is the defeat of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi because he was the face of party's poll campaign.
“BJP won in three states while leading in one (Delhi) and I congratulate the people for this. Congress lost in four states and this is Rahul Gandhi's defeat,” Singh told reporters at a press conference this evening.
During his visit to Chhattisgarh for campaigning, Rahul had claimed that it should be regarded that he himself is contesting the election from the state and he even appointed party observers at several places. His entire team was roped in to win the election but people voted for BJP, Singh said.
Exuding confidence about BJP's victory in next year's Lok Sabha election, he said, “The assembly elections proved that the NDA will come to power after the Lok Sabha election. Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister and Chhattisgarh's BJP will contribute to his victory by winning all 11 Lok Sabha seats in the state”.
