Tall muscular and dressed in casuals, Yudhveer has plunged into the fray at the insistence of other villagers. Surrounded by elderly men, who fervently support Yudhveer for the progress of their village.

The kabaddi player says if he becomes a sarpanch, he will turn the village into Chandigarh.

Yudhveer says, “I did not want to enter into the electoral battlefield but decided to do it only on the requests of village people. My first goal will be to improve the condition of the dirty sewage pond (chappar) in the village and improve the sports ground. I want the village to be clean, beautiful and progressive.”
