SHIMLA: Many Himachal Pradesh Congress leaders are dreaming of becoming the state's chief minister just as the party's Punjab unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu aspired for the top post there, BJP MLA Narinder Thakur said here on Tuesday.

Pointing to the exit poll results for the five states, Hamirpur MLA Thakur said in the assembly that the state's Congress MLAs' dreams will not become true.

Thakur made the assertion while participating in the Budget discussion in the state assembly.

Just like Punjab Congress chief Sidhu had dreamt of becoming the chief minister there, several Congress MLAs have been dreaming of becoming CM here too after its victory in the recent bypolls, he said.

Their dreams, however, cannot be fulfilled, he added.

As the exit polls show, Congress will not come in any of the five states where assembly polls were held, he added.

The dreams of neither Sidhu nor Charanjit Singh Channi of becoming Punjab CM is going to be true, he added.

The BJP MLA said the Congress won the bypolls for some other factors and not due to the alleged failure of the BJP government, he added.
