Star Wars in Delhi for Parliamentary Elections |
All eyes are riveted towards the National Capital Delhi as the megapolis, having seven crucial Lok Sabha seats, is all set to witness star studded three cornered contests. Each party has chosen celebrities to hijack the poll narratives to their advantage. They are of the opinion that celebrity status of contestants, has a ripple effect on seats and tempo turns into the party`s favor. Bharatiya Janata Party has declared singer Hans Raj Hans as its candidate from North-West Delhi Lok Sabha seat. Hans will take on Guggan Singh of the Aam Aadmi Party and Rajesh Lilothia of the Congress. BJP has fielded ex-cricketer Gautam Gambhir from East Delhi Lok Sabha seat. On the other hand, Congress has announced the name of Olympic Bronze medalist Boxer Vijender Singh who filed his papers from South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. However, 3 time chief minister of Delhi and veteran Sheila Dikshit will be contesting from North East Delhi and is considered invincible. Even her worst critics, including those from BJP, admit that Delhi benefited immensely under her, with roads and flyovers constructed all across the capital region. Metro rail was the single biggest contribution during her reign.
