She said that a united BJP was doing its best to ensure her victory in the civic body.“While the opposition tried to give me an outsider’s tag, the voters know the best. The love and respect that the people have given me throughout the campaigning process has made me confident.” She added, “While I don’t want to compare myself with my opponent but the Congress party continues to be a divided house. And that’s why the people have voted for me.” On the other hand, Congress candidate Anita Sharma who cast her vote at Raj Ghat in Kankhal was also confident of a win and lauded the “overwhelming response.” Sharma visited a number of polling booths on Sunday and she said that she was surrounded by voters, who were cheering for her..
