Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], Mar. 11 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Friday said the Congress would win the elections with a full majority in the state and added that the party's victory would be the people's victory. "I have full faith that we will form the government with a full majority. We will win for sure. I pray twice everyday so that I can deliver my best and perform my duty for the people of the state.
