In 1989, Jagdeep Dhankhar, his brother said, fought the Lok Sabha election and won the polls with a huge margin. "My eldest brother won the Lok Sabha elections in June 1989 and then he became a minister in the government of India. Later, he was elected as an MLA from the Kishangarh seat in Rajasthan. He has been in politics for the last 33 years," said Randeep.
"Congratulatory messages are pouring in from both Congress and BJP for my brother. My brother had an association with both parties. But, what I think is that Vice-President is a constitutional post. Hence, people will vote for him setting aside party affiliations," he said.
