Sukhu said a person who sells himself for money can never be forgiven. He alleged that the BJP has stolen one Rajya Sabha seat. The people will give a befitting reply in these elections by making the Congress victorious in all the six assembly seats, he said.

Sukhu said the BJP did not stand with the people during the disaster and today they have gone to the Election Commission to stop the Rs 1500 given to the women. But the Congress government will give Rs 1500 to all women from March to June once the elections are over, he added.

He expressed optimism over the party's victory in all the four Lok Sabha and six assembly seats with ease.
