Dhubri: An independent candidate Sukur Ali from Modati village in Assam said that if he fails to raise the fund to contest in the Lok Sabha election, he will sell his kidney.

Ali told ANI on Friday, "If I fail to accumulate funds to contest elections, I will sell my kidney."

Ali said, "Since my childhood, I have seen leaders stepping into politics only to cater their personal interest. No one is willing to extend help to the needy. I want to break this tradition and for that, I will not even hesitate to sell my kidney.”
