Ahead of the 2014 general elections, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister
Virbhadra Singh Sunday once again proved his mettle by ensuring that his
Congress party retains the Mandi Lok Sabha seat and with a handsome
margin too.
The
victory comes within six months of the party wresting power from the
Bharatiya Janata Party in the hill state under his leadership and
forming the government after the assembly elections.
Congress
candidate and Virbhadra Singh's wife Pratibha Singh won the Mandi
parliamentary bypoll by defeating her nearest rival Jai Ram Thakur, a
BJP legislator and former cabinet minister, by 136,724 votes.
