An Independent contesting from this Lok Sabha seat has promised to chase illegal migrants out, open gyms and help youths get married. He said if elected, he would himself end a vow and enter wedlock.
Kamal Uddin, 66, is a bachelor who vowed not to get married until he wins an election. So far, he has fought seven elections — four assembly and two zila parishad. This is his first shot at Lok Sabha polls and he is up against sitting MP Ismail Hussain of Congress, Chandra Mohan Patowary of BJP, AGP’s Phani Bhusan Choudhury and Sirajuddin Ajmal of AIUDF among others. Polling for this seat is on April 24.
Though he has no regrets about being a bachelor all these years, Kamal Uddin, feels May 16 might ultimately be his ‘D-day’. “I am sure people will vote for me overwhelmingly,” he said.
Asked what makes him so confident, Kamal Uddin, who is a class IV pass and was once a blacksmith, says it is because of his association with the people and his resolve to end their miseries.
