CTCC refutes Jain's claim

CTCC spokesperson Sunil Parti said in a statement that the BJP had been routed in the panchayat polls, claiming that the Congress had in fact gained largely. He further claimed that had the elections been fought on party symbol, the Congress would have completely routed the BJP, adding that the verdict clearly went against the policies of the BJP-led Central Government.
