JAMMU, Dec 14: Congress candidate from Jammu West, Surinder Singh Shingari today said that after having failed in fielding an able performer, the top party guns and film stars are fielded by BJP to defeat a grass root candidate like me, who devoted his 15 years in public service.
“Jammu West contest has turned into a struggle of Jammu West with outside leaders and film stars, and in this contest people of Jammu West constituency will show the strength of their brotherhood. Self pride of Jammu is not something which can be hijacked by pumping expensive advertisements and film stars” he said.
“Why doesn’t contesting candidate comes in the public domain at his own merit?” he asked. I hope people of Jammu West are going to prefer performance of contesting candidates rather than propaganda.
He said that the people of the constituency know him very well and they are convinced with his performance, and so he decided to contest this election on the basis of trust of people and his work with limited sources.
Meanwhile, Shingari also met a delegation of daily wagers and assured them that he will raise their issues in the Legislative Assembly.
Others who were present along with Shingari at different places including Ustad Mohalla and Mohalla Naranian included Kamal Pradhan, Raju Sharma, Shazad Khan, Manzar Bhat, Samroz Mir, Sharukh Khan, Raza Dar, Manzoor Khan, Seva Dal activists and other youth activists.
