The Congress made a vain attempt to claim to have won in States where it has been conclusively defeated, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said in Hubballi on Sunday.
“Even today, I have not understood why KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar rushed to Goa and some Congress observers went to Uttarakhand even before the results were announced. Does it mean that the Congress leaders over estimated their chances in those States? Why did the party try to claim that it won in States where it has been conclusively defeated?” he said.
“Did Mr. Shivakumar go there to show his muscle power? Did he want to unleash his goondagiri even there also?’’ he asked. Mr. Joshi was speaking to journalists at the Hubballi airport.
