Tewari behaving like a tourist in Chandigarh: Tandon
Taking a dig at his rival from Congress, Manish Tewari, Tandon said he had come to the city after decades as a tourist. “Tewari has been out of the city for decades. Now, he is trying to invoke his parents for his validation to the city,” he said, while addressing a public meeting.
He questioned if Tewari has any road map for Chandigarh. “Just indulging in verbosity, Tewari has nothing to promise to the city,” he remarked.
Tandon said, “Tewari is contesting the election from Chandigarh without substantial content, relying instead on false rhetoric. He has taken the electorate of his previous two constituencies for a ride. But this time, the Chandigarh voters will give Tewari a befitting reply on June 1 by voting for the BJP.”
