I will definitely identify those who put hurdles in PM Modi’s campaign and take it up.”
She appealed to Naresh Chandra Uttam Patel to continue the development work initiated in the region. “In Fatehpur Sadar, maximum development work was carried out. I hope the winning candidate carries on the development work,” she added.
