He further said that even those candidates who may be fielded by different political parties in particular assembly segments need also have this feeling that KP candidates contesting from that particular constituency reduces their vote bank and hence they must persuade their parties to take this important aspect into view so that division of KP votes is avoided.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
