Satyapal Singh to fight polls on development agenda

While rejecting the charge of BJP's involvement in riots as a political propaganda, he distanced himself from regional BJP leaders, including some MLAs, accused of inciting violence.

“I am not here to speak for anybody. A criminal is a criminal. Crime is crime. Everybody should get justice,” he said.

The ‘Modi effect', he said, will help him break Union Minister Ajit Singh's stronghold over Jats in the area.  

“What he (Ajit Singh) has done. Baghpat has become the most undeveloped part of NCR.

Roads are so bad. There is no industry and hardly any employment opportunity. The area has become so insecure and unsafe...,” he said, attacking the RLD chief.
