Common problems ail BJP CM candidate’s turf

NEW DELHI: A mix of the business and salaried classes, Krishna Nagar is a constituency with the familiar east Delhi issues of water, electricity and congestion. Growth of business has added to the constituency's woes as commercial outlets have sprung up without a corresponding increase or betterment in the civic infrastructure.

The constituency representative , Dr Harsh Vardhan of the BJP, is a four-time sitting MLA and hopes to win a fifth time this December. As with the rest of east Delhi, though, there are ample chances of a change this time as there is strong dissatisfaction with the sitting MLA. Most residents complain that despite being at the helm for two decades, Dr Harsh Vardhan hasn't been able to address some of the biggest civic issues in the area—namely , inadequate parking and drainage.

While the BJP leader himself claims that a multi-storey parking project is his biggest achievement in this term, residents say the project is yet to take off. "Roads have little space for movement, leave alone parking . Every day, fights break out between residents over parking space," says Jitender Singh, a resident. The lack of basic facilities such as water and electricity is another electoral issue , say residents.

Frequent waterlogging during rains, blocked drains, thefts and lack of adequate amenities for the regularized colonies are some of the other issues that will become electoral points, say local leaders. "Although there is a strong sense of dissatisfaction among voters about the sitting MLA, the perception is that there isn't any option that can be tried," said Radhika Chawla, a resident of Geetika Colony. She cited the redevelopment work that has been done in the colony on a drain, as well as the easy accessibility of the MLA. Muslims make up a large part of this assembly constituency's population , especially in areas like Khureji and Rashid Market where the BJP has been trying to win support with development.

Interestingly, of the four MCD wards that are in this constituency , only two are with the BJP – Krishna Nagar and Anarkali . The former is a seat reserved for women. The other municipal wards are Geeta Colony and Ghondli, which are with an independent candidate, Bansi Lal, and the Congress, respectively. Lal's name has been doing the rounds as a prospective candidate for the Congress from this assembly constituency.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party is yet to decide on a candidate for the seat.
