Congress Confident of Retaining Power in All Three States
Hours before counting of votes commences in Maharashtra, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh Assembly election, Congress on Wednesday exuded confidence of retaining power in the three states where elections were held on October 13.
“From all reports we have got, we hope we will form the government in all three states,” party spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said.
Without directly commenting on speculations of an alliance with the MNS in Maharashtra if the Congress-NCP fell short of the numbers, Natarajan said “only those parties who subscribe to our policies, share our philosophy of a peaceful, sovereign and united India will be acceptable to us”.
