Himachal Chief minister Virbhadra Singh today dismissed the claims of former Chief minister P K Dhumal that fresh Assembly polls would be held in March next saying that it was reflection of his frustration and wishful thinking.

"My government is stable and would complete its full term and the efforts of the BJP to destabilise the government would not succeed", he said while talking to reporters.

Singh said that the BJP was plagued with internal bickering and facing leadership crisis and its leaders are making such statements to divert the attention of the people.

Referring to the cases registered against him by the CBI an Enforcement Directorate, he said that CBI was acting as tool of central government but he was not bothered and has full faith in the judiciary.
 

Singh said that the defeat of BJP in Bihar Assembly polls, Lok Sabha by election in Ratlam and the setback suffered by the party in panchayat polls in Gujrat clearly indicated decline in popularity of BJP and would reflect in Himachal also.

He expressed hopes that panchayat polls would be held in the state in a smooth manner and Congress-backed candidates would sweep the polls.
