Gohana: Wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, Bharatiya Janata Party`s (BJP) candidate from Baroda for the upcoming assembly elections in Haryana, on Tuesday said that he wanted to enter politics to serve the people in his state.

"I wanted to enter politics to serve people. People have always showered me with love and blessings, so it is my duty to give something to them in return. I also had a job in the police and I served people there too. But with politics, I can stay more in touch with what people need. I will try to eradicate all problems that are hindering grass root development in Haryana and will try to ensure the state gives the maximum number of athletes," said Dutt.

The Olympic gold medallist also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for their constant guidance.The 36-year-old also said that every district has its own concern and he will try to serve everyone in the best possible manner."I think by entering politics, I can improve the state of sports. We have a PM who is always trying to inspire, India has developed a lot under his leadership, our CM Manohar Lal Khattar has also been there to provide his guidance," Dutt said.

"Each district has its own concern. Some have electricity as a major concern while some have water has the main concern. My main job is to serve people and I will try to ensure the best facilities for everyone," he added.
