In a reaction to this move, the BJP fielded Tarvinder Singh Marwah, a three-time MLA from the constituency who defected Congress to join the saffron party, to challenge Sisodia. Congress has nominated Farhad Suri, a former MCD mayor, as its candidate.
Former Delhi Congress chief Anil Chaudhary on Tuesday said the Congress’ “mohabbat” (love) will trounce BJP’s “nafrat” (hatred) in Patparganj constituency in the upcoming assembly elections.
Congress candidate from Patparganj constituency seat Anil Chaudhary slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), saying that Delhi got nothing from AAP except for pollution.
Former deputy chief minister has been moved to Jangpura constituency and the AAP has fielded educationist Awadh Ojha, who recently joined the party from the said seat. Sisodia has represented this constituency thrice.
Sisodia, who is in jail in connection with a case he claims is fabricated, obtained court permission to utilise his MLA fund for this purpose. Responding to a pressing need expressed by residents for better access to drinking water, Sisodia instructed his team to address this issue.
He also directed the officials to ensure that the sewerage related problems are resolved on an immediate basis.
