One by-poll result is no reflection of the performance of his govt: PM

One by-election result could not be seen as a reflection of the performance of the government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday.


"One by-election cannot be seen as a referendum or a reflection on the performance of my government," the Prime Minister told journalists in Pretoria in response to a question on the Congress and its allies losing all four by-elections in Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar.

The Oct 13 election results were announced on Monday, leaving the Congress with a zero-four score.

It lost the Hisar parliamentary seat as well as the assembly seats of Banswada (Andhra Pradesh), Khadakwasla (Maharashtra) and Daraunda (Bihar).

He was replying to a question by a reporter on the sidelines of the IBSA Summit.
