Tughlaqabad MLA Sahiram in an interview to ‘PTI-Bhasha’ rejected the opposition camp’s claim that ‘AAP’ and Congress voters and workers will not support each other.
The 64-year-old leader, who is contesting the Lok Sabha elections for the first time, said that this is a misconception. I want to ask those BJP leaders who think that AAP workers will not vote for Congress and Congress people will not vote for AAP… Will they (Congress and AAP supporters) vote for BJP?
The AAP MLA popularly known as Sahiram Pahlwan said that his party is identified with Arvind Kejriwal and Congress is identified with Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. “I don’t think the workers of both the parties will deviate from the direction set by their top leadership,” he said.
Targeting the BJP, he said that if you talk about inflation and unemployment, you will be called a traitor and thrown in jail. Why don’t they talk about farmers and soldiers? This is a matter of great concern for the country.
The AAP MLA said, “The Agnipath scheme was brought in but there is no pension for soldiers after four years of retirement. Claiming that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest has caused a lot of resentment among the people of the city, one has thought about his future, Sahiram said it would have been better for the party if he was not in jail.
He said, “When he should be among the masses, he has been thrown in jail.” People are chanting – respond by voting, because they are happy with the work Kejriwal has done in the last nine years.
He said that if he wins the election, his first three priorities will be to build a big hospital, school and stadium in South Delhi.
