AAP has fielded current MLA Bandana Kumari as its candidate. BJP has again expressed confidence in its former candidate Rekha Gupta. Praveen Kumar Jain is the candidate from Congress. Saurabh Gupta, who was once the backbone of Shalimar Bagh Assembly and played an important role in making AAP win every election, has expressed his displeasure with the party’s decision this time.
Saurabh Gupta has announced to contest as an independent. Talking to journalists, Saurabh said that current MLA Bandana’s husband has constantly exploited the workers of AAP and has misbehaved with them.
The MLA and her husband have worked against the party many times. To defeat AAP candidate Jalaj Chaudhary in the Municipal Councilor election, MLA Bandana Kumari and her husband Sajjan Kumar fielded one of their close aides as an independent candidate, but AAP workers made party candidate Jalaj Chaudhary win.
The party has taken a wrong decision by giving ticket to the current MLA, thereby playing with the feelings and respect of thousands of workers. Saurabh Gupta said, I want to ask AAP patron Mr. Arvind Kejriwal whether party workers have any respect or prestige in the party or not. I am saddened by the party’s decision, therefore I have decided to contest the election as an independent from Shalimar Bagh Assembly. Thousands of youths and old AAP workers extended their support to Saurabh Gupta.
