"But let me make it clear, I will contest only from Amritsar, and nowhere else. If the party does not give me a ticket from Amritsar, no problem.
"Let me tell you, I will never beg for a ticket. Bin Maange Moti Mile, Maange Mile Na Bheekh (one gets a pearl even without begging, but if one begs, one doesn't get anything)."
He also quoted another proverb, the giver is higher than the taker. "I never begged for anything in my life. I know how to give away, how to do nyochhavar (sacrifice)"
