Buckling under pressure, the sitting MP from lucknow, lalji Tandon, said that he would abide by the orders of party high command and would work as a soldier for party national president Rajnath Singh, who is in fray from State capital.
“I accept the decision of the party with dignity and will not contest from anywhere else. Instead I will work to ensure Singh’s victory with a record margin,’’ he told The Pioneer here on Sunday.
Earlier Tandon had protested the party’s decision to field Rajnath Singh from lucknow and even said that he will only leave the seat for Narendra Modi and no one else. He even said that no one discussed this change with him. But now Tandon claims to have mellowed down. He claimed that he is not annoyed with the party’s decision and would fully support Rajnath during his campaign in the constituency which will start just after Holi.
