Sheesh Pal Choudhary, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate from Tehri lok Sabha constituency, filed his nomination papers here on Thursday. Choudhary led a procession of party workers from the parade ground and reached collectorate where he filed his papers.
Choudhary was accompanied by BSP leaders M S Koli, Suraj Bhan, Satyapal and Ramesh Kumar during the process of filing the nomination papers.
Talking to The Pioneer shortly after submitting his nomination papers Choudhary said that the issues of development, education, women empowerment and upliftment of lower strata of society are at top of his priorities. He blamed both BJP and Congress for ignoring the Tehri lok Sabha constituency and claimed that people of the area are in a mood of change this time and BSP is the only viable alternative for these parties.
The BSP candidate said that social disparity still prevails in the State and he is committed to bring social equality. Choudhary said that the Congress has managed the Tehri BSP candidates in the previous lok Sabha elections but this time he will give a fitting reply to the party and its corrupt practices. He said that the cadre and workers of BSP are very much exited and are working overtime to enhance party’s chances this time.
