Gurgaon: Mool Chand Sharma, the BJP candidate from Faridabad's Ballabhgarh, encountered resistance from locals during an event late on Monday evening.
Sharma, Haryana minister for industries and two-time MLA, has been given the party ticket for the third time.
When he arrived in Sector 22 Ballabhgarh for campaigning later than the scheduled time, a crowd of locals surrounded him and heckled him.
In response, he took an oath on stage, promising to resolve the area's issues.
People said despite him being an MLA for 10 years and a minister in the govt, they neither got uninterrupted drinking water supply, nor relief from choked sewer lines.
Sharma then started making promises that he would resolve the grievances if elected this time.
Dissatisfied by his replies, people continued to heckle him and soon began leaving. Seeing this, Sharma said: "I swear that after winning this time, I will provide relief to the people from drinking water shortage and sewer overflow."
