Tikait hints at support to Abhay for Ellenabad Assembly bypoll
The Hindu
The INLD leader had resigned from the seat in support of farmers’ agitation
Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Rakesh Tikait on Wednesday exhorted the electorate in Ellenabad to ensure the victory of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) nominee Abhay Singh Chautala in the upcoming bypoll with an even bigger margin than the previous election.
Refraining from naming anyone, Mr. Tikait, through an analogy, suggested that someone had left his belongings with them and they must now return it to him with some addition.
In an obvious reference to Mr. Chautala, who had resigned as Ellenabad MLA in January this year in support of farmers’ agitation, Mr. Tikait, speaking at a SKM rally in Sirsa’s Nathursari Chopta, said, “someone had left his “papers” and other belongings with us six months ago and is now seeking them back. They should return it to him with an addition. Did you get my point on not?,” His query was greeted with loud cheers from the crowd.
