Mangalore, December 20: Dakshina Kannada district Congress Committee celebrated the victory of the party in Himachal Pradesh in the assembly polls.
The supporters burst crackers, raised slogans in the name of their party and leaders as part of the “vijayotsava”. Sweets were also distributed.
Congress leaders Ivan D'Souza, Mayor Gulzar Banu, former Mayor K Ashraf, Shashidhar Hegde and others who addressed the small gathering said it is victory of the faith of the citizens in the leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
The party secured a wafer-thin majority of 36 in a House of 68, one more than the half-way mark of 35.
The BJP managed to get only 26 while independents got 5 and Himachal Loktantrik Party one. In the last elections, the BJP got 41 and Congress 23.
