Kirron downplays egg welcome

March 18, 2014 15:49

Kirron tried to downplay the protest against her by a section of BJP workers. Seeking to reach out to those who were protesting her candidature on the grounds that she was an 'outsider', Kirron told reporters that she had her roots in Chandigarh and also had connection with neighbouring Himachal Pradesh.

Kirron, wife of veteran actor Anupam Kher, said she is contesting from the City, where she was brought up and would work to ensure its development. "We will sort out any grievance which some people may have (those who are opposing her)," she said and exuded confidence that she will win the Chandigarh seat.
