“I have decided to undertake people contact programme and I am visiting different parts of the region. It does not matter if I am on any post or associated with any party. What is important is to remain in touch with people”, he asserted.
The entire zone committee, which quit PDP along with Nitish Mahajan are Krishan Lal Sharma Vice President Gandhi Nagar Zone, Sandeep Sharma, General Secretary Gandhi Nagar Zone, Sunil Sharma Secretary Gandhi Nagar Zone, Anita Verma Treasurer, Rajni Devi Media Secretary and Sukhdev Singh, Organizing Secretary.
