Singh told the reporters on Friday that he was fighting the elections from Bassi Pathana seat according to the "wishes" of the people of the constituency.
Replying to a question, Singh said he was not upset with anyone. "There is no revolt," he further said.
Singh in last year had resigned as senior medical officer from Kharar civil hospital.
