After Congress' massive victory in the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bypolls, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday said that the elections have revived the grand old party and is the downfall for Bharatiya Janata Party.

"This is a happy occasion for us, and not only in Gurdaspur, but in Kerala as well. It is a very good sign emerging on the national scene," Singh said while addressing the media.

Singh further said that the elections show an indication that times are changing.

"The impact of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is very major; traders are fed up, while the impact of demonetisation is still being felt," Singh asserted.

He added that this is the highest margin in Gurdaspur since the elections started in 1950.

The Congress Party registered a massive victory in the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha by-polls, as party candidate Sunil Jakhar won by a margin of 1,93,219 votes .   -- ANI
