People support led to Cong victory in bypoll: Vasan

Chennai, June 30 (UNI) Union Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation Minister G K Vasan today said the Madurai West bypoll result was a clear indication that the people had supported the good work done by both the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre and the DMK Government in Tamil Nadu.

Addressing mediapersons here, he said the defeat of AIADMK in the bypoll was due to Jayalalithaa's harsh remarks against Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

The people of Tamil Nadu, particularly the voters of Madurai West had taught a lesson to Jayalalithaa by defeating her party.

The victory of Congress with support of the alliance parties of the DPA showed that the people of the state had immense faith on Sonia Gandhi, the senior Congress leader added.
