The Uttarakhand Congress on Saturday urged people to vote for it in the Pithorogarh assembly bypoll to strengthen the opposition.
"A strong opposition is needed for the continuation of the unfinished agenda of the development started by the previous regime," state Congress in-charge Anugrah Narayan Singh said at a press conference here ahead of the bypoll for the Pithoragarh seat on Monday.
Accusing the BJP of taking credit for schemes launched by the previous Congress government, he said, This party (BJP) has nothing to do with development, it only feeds on rumours, character assassination and taking credit for developmental works done by Congress governments."
