Voters in the mood to throw out Nishank government, says Yashpal Arya
"Voters are disenchanted with the wrongdoings of the BJP government. They are in the mood to throw it out.", says Arya.

You are Congress's Dalit face in Uttarakhand. What are your chances of being nominated the state's future CM?
I do not know. I shoulder whatever responsibility I am given. But I must add that being the Congress's dalit face in Uttarakhand will not be a criterion when choosing a CM.
But you are considered a possible CM candidate. What are your chances against other contenders such as Union state minister Harish Rawat and Congress MP Vijay Bahuguna?
Such decisions are always finalized from 10 Janpath. So the question of factionalism within party ranks playing a role does not rise.
It is said you are the UPA chairperson's blue-eyed boy.
That's not true at all. I just do the work I am assigned by Congress central leadership.
What are the key poll issues this time and how does Congress fare?
Issues like anti-incumbency, corruption and scams encouraged by the Nishank government, poor power and water situation and deteriorating health care are major issues. Voters are disenchanted with the wrongdoings of the BJP government. They are in the mood to throw it out. I am sure Congress will get full majority - about 36 of the 70 seats.
