Former Union Minister Venod Sharma on Sunday said that he will extend his support to anyone who helps in Ambala's development that includes setting up of an Industrial Model Township.
Keeping the cards close to his chest on whether he will enter the poll fray, Sharma said if an IMT is set up in Ambala, it will generate thousands of jobs and thus give employment opportunities to the youth here.
“We will oppose those who have acted as stumbling block in Ambala's progress, but we will extend our wholehearted support to those who will help in Ambala's development,” the former Ambala legislator said, addressing a gathering of his supporters in Ambala.
He, however, did not make it clear whether he would contest the upcoming assembly polls in Haryana.
He also demanded 75 per cent jobs be reserved for Haryana youths in the industries in the state.
Notably, Sharma had floated his own outfit Jen Chetna Party before the 2014 assembly polls after leaving the Congress. He had accused former Union Minister and current Haryana Congress president Kumari Selja, who was the then Ambala MP, of opposing the IMT project.
The project was shelved by the previous Congress regime after Selja had opposed the project being set up on fertile land.
