New Delhi: Professional boxer and Congress leader, Vijendra Singh, in an interview to ETV Bharat said he wants to work for the people of his constituency and resolve unemployment woes of the Youths.
When asked about how will he handle the status difference of the voters in his constituency, South Delhi, he said, "It may be challenging for me to satisfy both the section of the society, but it will not be impossible as I have faced both the situations in my life. I have been in a situation where my family had to struggle financially and I have also enjoyed a luxurious life. "
"The biggest challenge will be to curb unemployment among youths," he added.
Hitting out at the BJP led NDA government at the centre he said rather than resolving the employment issues, politicians are using religious issues for their vote bank.
He also slammed prime minister Narendra Modi and said, "As a prime minister he should be talking about the development of the country. He should stop using terrorism to gain votes. Talking something like this doesn't suit to the stature of the Prime Minister"
He also encouraged other sportspersons to join politics as he thinks all sportspersons are good at heart and these people are needed in politics.
He appreciated the Party leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, saying that Congress is gaining confidence among people.
Vijender Singh will take on BJP's sitting Lok Sabha member Ramesh Bidhuri and Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha in South Delhi constituency.
