“The Congress will not hesitate to take some tough steps as the party is our priority and will not let the people’s mandate be betrayed in Himachal Pradesh,” Ramesh told reporters.
“We cannot lose the people’s mandate through BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ as only people can take it back,” Ramesh asserted.
He said accountability will also be fixed for cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha poll in Himachal Pradesh, which the Congress nominee lost.
“Individual’s interests are not important as the party is supreme,” Ramesh said, adding that the people’s mandate needs to be respected.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also said in a democracy, the general public has the right to choose the government of their choice.
The people of Himachal used this right and formed the Congress government with a clear majority, she said.
