Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win the Assembly elections with a full majority.
Dhami was responding to former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and Congress leader Harish Rawat's claim of winning more than 48 seats in the state due to strong anti-incumbency against the ruling BJP.
"We will get more than 48 seats in the state Assembly polls," Rawat toldon Monday while responding to a query about Congress' chances of forming government in the state.
Meanwhile, Dhami on Tuesday told ANI, "They (Congress) will not win the Assembly elections. The BJP will win with a full majority in the state."
"Rawat's statements keep changing time and again. Sometimes he says that he wants to become the Chief Minister and sometimes he says that a Dalit should become the Chief Minister. Their happiness is short-lived. There is no doubt that the BJP's thumping majority government is about to come," he added.
The polling for the 70-member state Assembly was held on February 14. The counting of votes would be held on March 10.
