Kandhwar is in Singh’s assembly constituency, Churhat.

The Congress leader claimed that workers of the ruling party were “feeling suffocated” and had “lost faith in it”.

Pooh-poohing the BJP’s claims of development, he said at the ground level “happiness and development are totally missing.”

People were looking for a change as their faith in the saffron party was fast eroding, he claimed.
