The seat of the Ambala ZP chief was reserved for male candidate and the BJP had only two members in the 15-member House and both the members were females (Sakshi and Pinki Devi) due to which the BJP had no chance to win. After Rajesh joined the party, a couple of Independent candidates extended support to him, the BJP got the opportunity to introduce its candidate and win the top post. Kumar said, “I am grateful to the BJP leadership for giving me this opportunity.”
