Will Manish Sisodia pick a different constituency to contest from this time?
Reportedly two weeks ago, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia rushed to the jhuggi jhopri (JJ) cluster near Sundar Nursery in Jangpura late in the evening. Minutes after it became clear that bjp leaders were visiting unauthorised colonies and slum clusters as part of its delhi Assembly election campaign, sitting mla Praveen Kumar and Greater Kailash mla Saurabh Bharadwaj also joined Sisodia. The leader sat in the midst of people whose houses had been razed in a demolition drive, some with documents in their hands to show they had lived in the area for decades.Perhaps if there was an indication that Sisodia would pick a different constituency to contest from this time, the late-evening visit was the clearest one. On Monday, as AAP came out with its second list of candidates, the senior leader’s shift to Jangpura was confirmed. The party views Jangpura as a “safe”seat and hopes that the Dalit and Muslim population in areas such as Nehru Nagar, Sunlight Colony, Nizamuddin Basti and Daryaganj will give Sisodia a comfortable win, who won in Patparganj in 2020 by a thin margin of just about 3,200 votes.
Moreover since the AAP’s inception, Jangpura has been home to some of the most dedicated volunteers,” he said. Sisodia also spoke about his decision to leave Patparganj. Calling the constituency the birthplace of his political career, he said he left it because Avadh Ojha, who joined the party last week, had expressed a desire to contest from there.
