Sitting MLA Shamsher Singh Gogi files nomination for Assandh seat

Sitting MLA and Congress candidate from Assandh Assembly segment Shamsher Singh Gogi filed his nomination papers today. Sirsa MP Kumari Selja, Amethi MP Kishori Lal joined him during the process.

“Our party’s candidate Gogi will win the Assandh seat and the Congress would form the government in Haryana as people are fed up with the BJP government,” said Selja, adding that people were full of enthusiasm to bring the Congress in power.

She rejected rumours of her resigning from the post of Congress general secretary and said that such rumours are being spread by opposition parties.

Kishori Lal highlighted his relation with Gogi and said, “Gogi is my friend and I came here to file his nomination papers. I will campaign for him and Gogi will win the seat. The party will form the government.” He avoided giving reply on whether Gogi would be appointed minister if the Congress forms government. Lal said it would be decided by the party high command.

Earlier, both leaders and Gogi addressed the gathering and accused the BJP on various issues including inflation, unemployment and corruption. Gogi said the BJP government had stalled the development of the state. “We will form the government in Haryana,” he said. Later, both leaders, along with Gogi, took out a roadshow with a large number of supporters and party workers.
