“Those who contested and won elections making declaration ofholiday on Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday as a poll plank, failed in doing so,”Vikramaditya said.

“As PDP MLC, I and some other members made it happen that aresolution about declaration of holiday on Maharaja’s birthday was passed inLegislative Council, but the BJP leaders didn’t raise any voice in favour ofthis issue in the lower house of the State legislature.”
