An NRI businessman who returned to the country in 2008 after spending nearly 20 years abroad is trying his luck at the ballot in the Lok Sabha polls from Chandigarh.
Ajay Goyal (44), an independent candidate for the Chandigarh seat, has travelled around the world and invested in companies in many countries. He is now entering politics with no big promises, but plans to woo voters with his impressive profile and by suggesting immediate remedies to their woes in his door-to-door campaign.
"At present, there is no democracy in any political party so I do not want to join any one of them. I am strictly against the usage of money to win elections that all other parties are doing," said Goyal.
"This is my first stint in politics. I plan to contest the Lok Sabha elections three times in the next 15 years and then I will retire before reaching 60."
He said that he had surveyed and studied Chandigarh for four months and then started his campaign seven days ago. "Seeing the response till now, I am sure of winning the elections," said Goyal.
"My main focus is on neglected areas and suburbs of Chandigarh. We will establish our offices in all these areas and provide internet facility to every individual there to upload their problems and photographs online so that the world can see the reality of Chandigarh and its 'so called' leaders," said Goyal.
Goyal, a mechanical engineer, passed out from the National Institute of Technology in Kurukshetra, Haryana, in 1986 and migrated to Germany in 1989. |
