INDERBIR SINGH BOLARIA (CONG), 36, AMRITSAR SOUTH

Bolaria, who was the youngest MLA in the last two assemblies, scored a hat-trick this time despite the fact that he switched party midway. Bolaria says it was a choice between political power and his people. He chose his people!

SECRET SAUCE

Always stands by his people. “I put my people first, my political bosses come second. If you have your finger on the pulse of the people, there is no way you can go wrong,” says Bolaria.

ROAD AHEAD

Employment generation is top on Bolaria’s agenda. “It’s not rocket science. We should invite industries with a slew of concessions, the sole condition being that they should employ the locals.” Bolaria is also keen on forging a common minimum programme for the youth.

BY THE WAY

Long drives are his favourite stress buster, the second being playtime with his three-year-old son Jai Inder Pratap.

I have always put people before political power
