Patiala, February 17

Days ahead of polling, two warring Congress leaders called it a truce today by declaring support to one another and the party in their respective constituencies of Samana and Sanaur.

At a joint press conference, Sanaur candidate Harinder Pal Singh Harry Mann and Samana MLA Rajinder Singh, accompanied by his father Lal Singh, said they would work for the interest of the party. “We will ask every supporter in Sanaur to work for the party and ensure the victory of Mann, who is contesting the polls”, said Lal Singh who has a good support base in Sanaur.

Mann said he had already asked his supporters in Samana to back Rajinder and the party. “The idea is to work together and we had to hold the conference to tell our supporters not to believe in rumours and work for the party,” he said.
