Congress candidate from Jhalrapatan Manvendra Singh talks about his chances against CM Vasundhara Raje and his relationship with Rahul Gandhi in a free reeling chat with DNA:
The party (Congress) asked me to contest the elections. I accepted it with grace. It’s a responsibility which I shall carry out with all my heart
No, I didn’t. There’s no need. The party has given me a task. I shall toe the line and am hoping for a favourable result.
No it wasn’t. I received a call. I said yes.
Of course it is. I am headed there. Will file my nomination on Monday. I am having my all this contest.
I fight for my convictions. I have joined the Congress for a reason. There’s no backing out. I’m here to stay and fight it out. A good player can seize the day on any game.
Yes she is. But as I said, I am toeing the party line. The Congress workers are with me. I am headed to the battlefield as we speak.
It’s a team effort. We have to look at the larger picture here. I am in the Congress because of Rahul Gandhi. If he has taken a decision to field me I shall abide by it.
I have a quiet and a good relationship with Rahul Gandhi. We share the same vision for Rajasthan. He has an inclusive approach, which I have been advocating for the people of the state.
