26/11 hero wins beating 3 times BJP MLA (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/assembly-elections-2013/delhi-assembly-elections/26/11-hero-wins-on-AAP-ticket-defeats-3-time-BJP-MLA/articleshow/27093822.cms)
Below you should read what he was facing :
Before joining politics, Surender served in the Indian Army and was part of the NSG commando group which carried on the rescue operation during the 26/11 terror strike in Mumbai's Taj Mahal Hotel. Surender had to retire on medical grounds after the 26/11 operation left him physically handicapped.
"For 19 months I was not given pension and I was under treatment due to the injuries sustained at Taj. I approached both Congress and BJP leaders, but none helped. On the day Kasab was hanged, I came in contact with Arvind Kejriwal. He took up my issue and I got my pensions," said Surender, who comes from Jhajjar in Haryana.
Calling the AAP's win as "people's victory," Surender said: "Jab fauj mein tha tab bhi desh ke liye jaan hazir thi, aaj bhi hazir hain (When was in the Army I was ready to die for the country and even now I am ready to give my life for the country).
