Assembly poll results not a referendum on Centre: PM

New Delhi, Feb 27 (UNI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the defeat of the Congress in the assembly polls in Punjab and Uttarakhand would have no bearing on the Centre as it was not a ''referendum'' against the UPA.

''I am not saying there is no fallout. However, these elections have no bearing on the Centre'' as these were fought on state-specific issues, Dr Singh told reporters in Parliament House.
