New Delhi: The voters in Sadar Bazar constituency of Delhi are in a dilemma on who to support in the Delhi Elections. While the Bharatiya Janata Party is yet to declare its candidate, the Congress has nominated the party election committee chief Ajay Maken and Aam Aadmi Party has named former MLA Som Dutt.
With not much hullabaloo till now over the one-day poll on February 7 for the 70-seat Assembly, the election fever has not yet caught up in this constituency. Only a few banners and flags of the political parties are seen in the main market and parties are yet to take up extensive campaigning.
On one hand the Congress is projecting Ajay Maken for his clean image while the BJP is banking on former IPS officer Kiran Bedi who is the party's chief ministerial candidate. But the AAP it seems is at a loss from this seat as people are not very happy with Som Dutt.
"I have always voted for the BJP and will vote for it this time as well. No other party will form government here," says s Sadar Bazar voter.
But there are many who do not exercise their franchise and celebrate the voting day as a holiday.
"I do not vote, but I enjoy the day as a holiday and spend time with my family," says Nitesh Gupta of Gupta and sons.
As there has been no extensive campaigning, it has hit the business of those dealing with election campaigning material.
"There has been no demand of any election campaigning material as of now," says Harpreet Singh of GV Traders.
This time China made election materials are also in the market which include hats, bands, 3D cards carrying symbols of all the three parties for campaigning. But the campaigning goods for Congress and BJP are in much more range including mufflers, projector pen, badges.
With BJP keeping cards close to its chest and Kiran Bedi in news as a chief ministerial candidate, the plan may work for the BJP but the Congress is also not behind.
