Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who arrived in Kargil on his motorbike, on Thursday exuded confidence in winning upcoming elections in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.
Mr. Gandhi told his supporters that the party was confident to repeat the Karnataka-like win in other upcoming elections in the country. “They talk about the Congress’ downfall. Whose downfall took place in Karnataka and Himachal. I can assure that the Congress will win upcoming elections in all the four states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Telangana,” he said.
The Congress leader also expressed concern over the lack of representation of locals in the governance issues of Union Territory of Ladakh. “Representation of locals remains a major issue here. In a democracy, the voices of people are important. The region gets funds. But who gets to make a decision on them? These days it’s bureaucracy and not the people of Ladakh,” Mr. Gandhi, who is touring the U.T. for the past six days, said.
