According to sources out of Delhi's 70 assembly constituencies, Patparganj is among the key seats from where VIP candidates are in fray. They holds importance as its mla is the deputy chief minister of delhi, manish Sisodia. Apparently, it also falls under east delhi lok sabha constituency that was won by BJP's gautam gambhir last year by a huge margin. delhi is slated to hold its polling on 8 february while counting is to be held on 11 February.
Apparently in 2020, the three parties who will be fighting it out in this assembly constituency are AAP, bjp, Congress. Earlier in 2015, Senior AAP leader manish Sisodia had triumphed over his former colleague vinod kumar Binny by a margin of over 28,000 votes in the high-stakes Patparganj constituency. Perhaps in an impressive show of strength, the AAP leader recaptured the crucial seat, more than double the margin of victory in 2013 polls. Former AAP mla Binny, who was fighting on a bjp ticket, finished second with 46,716 votes while congress was reduced to a poor third with its candidate anil Kumar totalling a mere 16,260. Sisodia, who was a minister in the previous arvind kejriwal government, called it a “victory of honesty" and hoped that it would now spawn a “positive competition" between delhi and the Centre.
He said “I think the love and enthusiasm shown for a party is historic. Now, there will be a positive competition between the Centre and the state (Delhi). So, far it was negative competition and competition of corruption".
