Vikramaditya Singh Commits to Development Vision Despite Electoral Defeat

Shimla, June 4 – Public Works Minister and Congress candidate for the Mandi parliamentary constituency, Vikramaditya Singh, has expressed his unwavering commitment to the development vision for the Mandi region despite not securing victory in the recent elections. He extended his gratitude to all voters who supported him and congratulated his opponent, Kangana Ranaut, on her win.

Speaking to journalists at the Rajiv Bhavan, the state Congress headquarters, Vikramaditya Singh emphasized that winning and losing are two sides of the same coin in elections. He respects and accepts the people’s mandate, reaffirming his dedication to standing by the people of Mandi and continuing to support them.

Vikramaditya Singh highlighted the national election results, noting that the country’s electorate has rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s slogan of securing over 400 seats. He pointed out the BJP’s defeat in Ayodhya and their struggle to cross the 250-seat mark. Singh suggested that Prime Minister Modi might need to adopt the persona of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee given the current political scenario. He indicated that the future of national politics and the next Prime Minister remains to be seen.

Responding to a question, Vikramaditya Singh expressed happiness over the Congress party’s victory in four out of six assembly by-elections in the state. He credited the people for rejecting party switching and money power, thereby strengthening the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh under Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s leadership. Singh affirmed that the Congress government is robust and will complete its term successfully.
