Lucknow:
Home Minister Rajnath Singh sought
to downplay the BJP's defeat in the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bypoll
in Punjab today.
"The graph of the BJP is rising among the people of the
country. A win on one seat does not reflect public
sentiments," Singh said on the sidelines of an event held here
today.
Sunil Jakhar of the Congress won the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha
seat, defeating the BJP's Swaran Salaria by more than 1.93
lakh votes.
The Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bypoll was necessitated following
the death of actor and BJP MP Vinod Khanna.
