Bishnoi: If I win it's due to my father Bhajan Lal

October 17, 2011 12:42

In the Hisar by-polls, out of the total nine Assembly segments, Bishnoi and Chautala are locked in a close contest in three segments - Uklana, Hansi and Bawani Khera. In the rest of the assembly segments, Bishnoi is far ahead of Chautala.

Team Anna member Devinder Sharma said the results will open in new chapter in the electoral politics of the country. "This time a common issue - corruption - came out as the major trendsetter and the issue is apolitical," he said, adding the Anna factor will have a bearing on the results.

Bishnoi said, "If I win by God's grace, it will be basically because of my father and family's track record. We have done a lot for Hisar". Jai Prakash said Team Anna's campaign has no impact here. "Results will show that in a while," he said.
