"Tut sakta hu.. jhukunga nhi': Congress' Salman Khurshid after Farrukhabad LS seat goes to SP

New Delhi [India], February 23 (ANI): Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Friday expressed his dissatisfaction after the Farrukhabad Lok Sabha seat went to the Samajwadi Party (SP) while finalising the seat-sharing deal with the grand old party for the upcoming parliamentary elections.

While expressing his disgruntlement, he asked how many times he would have to prove his relationship with the constituency adding that that he never bowed down to the decisions of fate and this time too he won't bow down.
"How many tests will my relationship with Farrukhabad have to face? The question is not about me but about the fate of all of us, about the future generations. I never bowed down to the decisions of fate. I can break, but I will not bow down. You promise to accompany me," he said in Hindi in a post on X.
A lawyer by profession, Khurshid was elected as an MP from Farrukhabad in 1991 and 2009. His father also represented the constituency in the year 1984.
