Betong parliamentary constituency.
In a statement, Aji said PKR Betong is ready to fight in a
multi-cornered contests in the coming State Election.
"This is to end all speculations and counter all
allegations by irresponsible parties that PKR Betong has not been moving on the
ground since the last general election in 2013.
"Now that the fruit is ripe for the plucking,
naughty poachers are staking their claim on our farms. "This is not right,
especially among so-called partners, and we have remained silent but now let us
publicly say that we welcome them in the spirit of democracy.
"Let the voters decide once and for all," Aji
challenged.
On PKR's readiness in the state election, Aji said:
"We are the proverbial under-dogs fighting seasoned giants of many years.
"We know our limitations, but we also know their
limitations, so we are ready to do," he stated.
