I thought about it at length and then decided to snap ties with it," Tony said. "But I am not hanging my political gloves as I have a lot of passion for my people. I have the drops of political blood in me so I won't quit politics because people of Jammu and Suchetgarh assembly segment need my services," he asserted. He said he had nothing against anybody in his former party and won't castigate it.I am not that type of a person."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
