"Lotus will bloom in Mainpuri," says BJP candidate Thakur Jaiveer Singh

Mainpuri (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 11 (ANI): After getting the Lok Sabha poll ticket to contest from Uttar Pradesh's Manipuri, Bharatiya Janata Party leader and cabinet minister Thakur Jaiveer Singh reached the district on Thursday and said that the drought-like situation here will soon be over.
BJP workers and supporters of Jaiveer Singh also reached out and raised slogans in his support.
While addressing the media, the BJP candidate said, "I don't find Mainpuri changeful. Because of the efforts made by our workers, we will win in Manipuri. Lotus will bloom here."
Hitting out at the Samajwadi party candidate Dimple Yadav, he said, "After the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav, Dimple Yadav became MP. Now the situation has changed and that time is gone. This time the contest will happen based on merit and what she has done for Mainpuri."
Lauding the double-engine government of the BJP, he said that the people of Manipuri would support the BJP. There are PM Modi's ten years of tenure and Yogi's 7 years of tenure. "They have brought a better law and order situation in the state," he added.
On BJP fielding Jaiveer Singh Thakur from Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat, Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav said, "It is good that they have fielded their minister. Someone had to contest but the Samajwadi Party is ready..."
