Congress will strengthen local bodies: Botsa

He said that the elections got delayed due to different court cases and the government was not involved with the decisions.

Botas said that people were behind the ruling party and that was the reason why as many as 1,040 candidates affiliated to the Congress party were unanimously elected to the Sarpanch posts.
