Bijendra told PTI, “Whenever I want to stand up, I have fought all my life. It will be another fight for me. I don’t know if I will get support, I am not afraid to compete in the election,” If I get the chance to change I will try my best for me, but this does not mean that I am going to retire as a player. I will never do it.
