I am impressed by Priyanka Gandhi's simplicity: Vijender Singh

Terming Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as his ideal, boxer-turned-politician Vijender Singh has said he is impressed by the simplicity of the Congress general secretary in whom he sees glimpses of her grandmother Indira Gandhi.

Singh, who will be making his electoral debut from south Delhi Lok Sabha constituency in Delhi as a Congress candidate termed his rivals - BJP's old-timer Ramesh Bidhuri as "not a good person' and AAP's Raghav Chadha a 'bachcha'.

Singh said he idolises Priyanka Gandhi and admires her simplicity.

"I like Priyankaji and her simplicity. The way she walks, the way she talks, there is a reflection of Indira Gandhiji. She has impressed me," he said.

The boxer-turned-politician said there is no competition with other candidates and said he will not lie to the people.

"There is no competition with the candidates. I will put forth my thing and won't lie. I am the son of a bus driver who belongs to a family of farmers. I started from zero and have only now started staying in Vasant Kunj," he told PTI.

Talking about his rival candidates he said, "People do not like the current MP (Bidhuri) since he is a bad person. Rahi baat us bachche ki (referring to Chadha), I don't know about him.

"People are fed up with Arvind Kejriwal and his false promises. They could have done so much for the poor but they were involved in 'dharna' politics from AC rooms."
