"Those who have tried to scare me by levelling baseless allegations should know that I would not leave the poll battle in Rajasthan," Dharmendra told a public meeting on Tuesday in Bikaner, from where he is contesting in the Lok Sabha polls as a BJP candidate.

"I will not get tired and sit down due to their remarks nor turn around to hide face from the struggle that I have taken up," he said. "I will continue my struggle and the campaign caravan would go on in all villages of the constituency."
