Politics Is More Challenging, Says Cricketer-turned-politician Manoj Tiwary
The ruling party fielded Tiwary from the Shibpur constituency, replacing party veteran Jatu Lahiri, who was a five-time MLA from the same constituency. The former Bengal captain lived up to the expectations and won the seat by a heavy margin to secure the fourth consecutive term for TMC from the seat.
"I joined politics to serve the people with a bigger platform. I believe in truth, even if I had to go against my party (TMC), I would not hesitate. But I am not an official spokesperson so can't comment on issues. There are persons who can talk on the party's behalf, which is a better way (to communicate). If you look at all the interviews before I entered politics, you'll hear the same kind of statements, and even now it's the same," the former batter told IANS.
