New Delhi, (Asian independent) The Congress after the results of the bypolls on Tuesday said that it indicates that the country is moving towards a change at the national level. Rajeev Shukla, Congress In-charge of Himachal Pradesh where the party swept the polls, said that the indication is clear and loud.
“In the Lok Sabha bypoll, BJP is losing. This means that the indication is positive for the opposition and the people have given affirmative response to the issues raised by the Congress,” Shukla said.
