Virbhadra Singh Blames Lack Of Campaigning For Congress Defeat
Six-time Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh won his Arki seat with a margin of 6,051 votes today. He blamed the party's central leadership for lack of campaigning, while BJP ran an aggressive campaign in the state.
"Whatever are the shortcomings, I did my best during campaigning alone in the state and that too, within my resources," he said.
He refused to put the blame on Congress President Rahul Gandhi. "The elections were conducted under my leadership and I accept our defeat."
His son, Vikramaditya Singh, tasted his maiden victory in the assembly from Shimla (Rural).
