He was addressing a meeting of local Congress leaders and prominent workers here today. Bhardwaj said that this the time for the people to evaluate the performance of their sittings MLAs and even corner them when the legislators approach the public for votes.
He further exhorted the people of the area particularly of Bishnah Assembly segment to be wary of such designs of the BJP and its candidate who had utterly neglected the area despite people reposing faith in him twice.
A resolution was also passed in the meeting expressing full faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
