With MCD hustings round the corner, parties have started to
streamline their election activities. Candidates have begun to cast their hawk
eyes on the ticket of their respective parties. Hushed tone parleys have given
way to boisterous wrangling and lobbying for ticket.The Congress and BJP
offices are bustling with activity. It’s going to be a triangular fight this
summer. Congress,BJP and Swaraj Party have girdled their loins. Strategies have
been chalked out and battlelines drawn.
BJP Delhi Chief Manoj Tiwary has novel plans to field the
candidates. New faces will be fielded he asserts. This is creating heartburn
for senior party functionaries and prospective older candidates.
It’s a ten year rule that is at stake for BJP at the city’s
civic elections. So the gambit is being viewed with trepidation.
Congress on the other hand is trying to hold strong to the Punjab
victory. Sources hold that Congress is going to field Capt. Amrender Singh to
lead the election campaign. It’s a do or die situation for Congress and a tried
and tested hero from the Punjab battlefield is but a natural choice for the
embattled party.
Aam Aadmi Party naturally has thrown its hat in the ring and
its bitter foe Swaraj India Party is also in the election ring.
Fifty percent seats are reserved for women in the three civic bodies. Thus seat allocation is going to be an interesting exercise in intra party management too.
