Want to do politics of development, not caste, says Rao Inderjit Singh
Gurugram: BJP candidate from Gurgaon Lok Sabha Rao Inderjit Singh said that he wants to do politics of development in Mewat and not of caste. He was addressing the Vijay Sankalp rally along with former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar at Firozpur Jhirka on Tuesday. He said that the BJP government has implemented many schemes including bringing drinking water and irrigation water to Mewat, considering Nuh as a backward district by the Central Government. The BJP candidate said that rapid development work has taken place in the Mewat region in the last 10 years. "If the people of Mewat support me, there will be more development work done in the next 5 years. My victory is certain due to the immense love I am getting from the public, but this time I wish that the people of Mewat should also rise above caste and support me," Rao Inderjit Singh said. Referring to Veer Hasan Khan Mewati, former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that the people of Mewat are patriotic. Unfortunately, the opposition kept this community away from development by misleading them. But now the people of Mewat have woken up and will not be misled by anyone. Therefore, I would request you to once again cooperate in forming the government under the leadership of Narendra Modi by voting 100% in favour of Rao Inderjit Singh.
SAD Chandigarh seat candidate quits party
Chandigarh: The Shiromani Akali Dal’s Chandigarh candidate Hardeep Singh has opted out of the electoral contest and quit the party, dealing a blow to the Sukhbir Singh Badal-led outfit. Singh ascribed his decision to the party’s “indifferent” attitude towards Chandigarh. The SAD had fielded Singh, who is a municipal councillor from Butrela in the Chandigarh municipal corporation. “It is due to the party’s ‘berukhi’ (indifferent attitude) towards Chandigarh and us,” Singh said. “I was campaigning. I had said to the party president that he should stand by him. But we could not get support from him,” he further said. Along with him, the party’s several office bearers also left the party. The SAD had fielded the candidate from the Chandigarh parliamentary constituency for the first time. From the Chandigarh parliamentary seat, the BJP has fielded Sanjay Tandon while the Congress candidate is Manish Tewari.
