Thirty-odd Indian National Army volunteers are canvassing for Saini, who promises accessibility if sent to Parliament. Saini also offers to form segment-wise cooperative societies to help the unemployed youth. Although he has an association with the leaders of All India Forward Bloc, a socialist party formed by Bose, Saini preferred to float an organisation of his own to ``maintain distance from the bi-polar politics''. He feels the Forward Bloc, too, like other left streams, cannot desist from teaming up with the Congress.

Saini claims that a section within the Communist parties has extended support to him in certain segments of the Hoshiarpur constituency. ``They are disillusioned with the Congress-Leftist tie-up in Punjab,'' he added to prove his point.
