The Gurugram Lok Sabha MP declares it is time to expand beyond Ahirwal
Hinting at his plans to play a bigger role in Haryana politics, Gurugram Lok Sabha MP and Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh on Thursday emphasised the need to step outside the Ahirwal region (Gurugram-Rewari-Jhajjar belt) and fight the “Battle of Panipat”. He also asserted that his self-respect and that of his people and region was “not negotiable”.
Mr. Rao was speaking at a rally, “Shaheedi Diwas Samaroh”, to mark the martyrdom of Rao Tularam, one of the key leaders of Indian rebellion of 1857 in Haryana.
Taking a dig at the State leadership for the poor show in the Assembly elections in 2019, Mr. Rao said a slogan “Abki Baar, 75 Paar” came from nowhere during the elections and everybody became complacent, but when the results came they even lost a few seats in the Ahirwal region such as Rewari. He added that since the State leaders had failed to deliver what they had promised, it was now time for them to step outside the Ahirwal region and help them. “Will we confine ourselves to just fighting for the Ahirwals, or step outside the region to fight the ‘Battle of Panipat?,” asked Mr. Rao, a five-time MP.
