A win on one seat does not reflect public sentiments,” Singh said on the sidelines of an event held in Lucknow on Sunday. Sunil Jakhar of the Congress won the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat, defeating the BJP’s Swaran Salaria by more than 1.93 lakh votes. The Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bypoll was necessitated following the death of actor and BJP MP Vinod Khanna.
