In my ward, the Muslim voters are decisive for a win but I won’t be turning up at their doorsteps for votes, Haridas Agrawal, one of the Mahasabha candidates told FPJ. We oppose Muslim Personal Law so how come we seek their votes, added Agrawal. He however said that once elected as corporator, he will be working for everyone without discrimination.
