Gidderbaha bypoll candidates speakout: Will focus on number of welfare works: Dimpy

Both SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann have different characters, but they are good at their respective places. “I have remained with the SAD for 38 years and worked with Sukhbir like a brother. It is natural that I will always remember him. I have still hung all the photos with the Badals at my residence. However, I did not leave the SAD to rejoin it later. I am almost 60 and can’t change the parties frequently,” said AAP candidate from Gidderbaha Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon recently in the newspaper’s digital show ‘The Tribune Interview’.

He further said the party was like a mother and it was very tough for him to leave it. “I was heartbroken when I left the SAD, but now I don’t have any regrets. I had doubts about Manpreet Singh Badal and I was feeling cheated. Something fishy was going on. The circumstances, however, changed later. Now, CM sahib has properly taken care of me,” said Dimpy.

He claimed that AAP was a good political outfit and people would vote for him. “Neither I raised the demand to get a Cabinet berth, nor have I any ambition. When I was the SAD’s constituency in-charge, I carried out various development works, like the construction of water channels, laying of water pipelines and improvement of the city’s sewerage system. Now, I have a number of works in my mind, which I will start immediately after winning the election,” said Dimpy. He further claimed that he was not seeing anyone as his opponent. “I wish all the best to everyone.”
