Highlighting his commitment to the people, Singh assured that his party would focus on uplifting the community, ensuring fairness in governance, and delivering on the promises made to the electorate. The public response to his address marked the rally as a resounding success, reinforcing Singh’s standing as a strong contender in the upcoming elections.
