He said that the former MLA and BJP candidate kept his mobile and the doors of his palace closed to the people of Dharamshala for 15 months. He said that there is such a big gate outside the palace of the former MLA that the common man is afraid of even going inside. He said that if a person does not belong to his family and party, what will happen to the people of Dharamshala? He said that the former MLA has no pain for the common man, he is just greedy for money. Such persons are also dangerous for politics.

He will raise the voice of Kangra Lok Sabha constituency in the Lok Sabha with full strength.
