When questioned about the result of the contest with “5-time MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury”, the world-renowned cricketer said, “I respect him since he is a senior leader. But people here want a change. Since there was no development here in this constituency, we will talk about that rather than talking about a fight between certain individuals.”

He also spoke about his plans for the constituency on the sidelines of a karmi sammelan in Kandi. “If elected, I will be working to establish a world-class sports academy here for youngsters providing them with cricket, football, swimming, and basketball facilities that can ensure medals for the country. We will also be focussing on the growth of the silk industry here.”
