Key candidates in the news
Mahabal Mishra
Mahabal Mishra is making a third attempt at winning from this constituency after losing in 2014 and 2019 when he contested on a ticket from the INC. This time the INDIA bloc has fielded him as a candidate from the Aam Aadmi Party.
In his election promises, he has said his priority will be the expansion of the metro to west Delhi. He has said that his motto has been “Kaam kiya hai, kaam karenge, jan jan ka samman karenge (Have worked, will continue to work and will respect everyone)”. He believes that though he has lost the past two elections, people will remember him in this election for the work he has done and for being available for them.
Kamaljeet Sehrawat
Although Kamaljeet Sehrawat’s leg has been in a cast, she has been campaigning in this constituency as she replaces incumbent MP Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma as BJP’s candidate. During her campaigning, she has questioned how INC and AAP who contested as rivals in past elections have now come together. She has also made remarks on how Arvind Kejriwal has been pushing his wife forward in this election despite her lack of political experience.
Her poll promises are that she will ensure parks in colonies, good roads, water and sewer connections and implementation of the central government’s scheme for women and young people.
Key issues and challenges in the constituency
- In trading hubs of Rajouri Garden, Tilak Nagar, Uttam Nagar and Janakpuri, issues like sealing and impact of demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax are among voters’ concerns. In areas like Matiala and Najafgarh, issues of limited water supply and dependence on water tankers dominate.
- There is not a single area, barring few upper-class sectors of Dwarka, where road congestion is not an issue. Surprisingly, it’s not on any party’s manifesto. According to a resident of Vikaspuri, safety of locals and parking woes are the top concerns. Parking is a huge issue. Anyone can park their vehicles anywhere, which at times occupies half of the roads.
- Unauthorised colonies and open drains are a concern too. The situation improved a bit in the last five years, but a lot still needs to be done.
- Women’s safety is also a major issue in West Delhi, which has the maximum number of women voters at 11,33,406.
- West Delhi Constituency faces several challenges that need to be addressed by the elected representative. One of the primary concerns is the need for improved infrastructure, including better roads, public transportation, and healthcare facilities. The rapid urbanization and population growth have put a strain on the existing resources, leading to congestion and inadequate amenities.
- Another critical issue in West Delhi is the need for better waste management systems. With the increasing population, the generation of waste has also risen significantly. Implementing efficient waste management practices is crucial to maintaining the constituency’s cleanliness and environmental sustainability.
- The constituency grapples with a myriad of socio-economic challenges, ranging from infrastructural gaps to unemployment and environmental concerns. While areas like Dwarka boast modern amenities and infrastructural development, disparities are stark in regions like Najafgarh, where basic amenities and employment opportunities remain a pressing issue.
- Education emerges as a significant concern, with disparities in access and quality prevalent across the constituency. While some areas boast prestigious educational institutions, others struggle with inadequate facilities and low literacy rates. Bridging this gap is crucial for empowering the youth and fostering socio-economic growth.
