Confident Tirath last to kick off poll campaignÂ

NEW DELHI: North West Delhi MP Krishna Tirath, who has once again been fielded by Congress, is yet to start her campaign. While other candidates have already started campaigning aggressively in the constituency to woo voters, Tirath will start her 'two areas in a day' campaigning only from Friday. Till then, she is relying on party workers and supporters to clinch her a third victory.

Tirath is contesting for a third term against AAP's Rakhi Birla and BJP's Udit Raj. Behind her lackadaisical approach is her confidence that her constituents will elect her once again. "They know that their areas will see major development if I come back for a third term. They have no complaints against me and praise the work I have done in the constituency so far,'' she told TOI.

Tirath's campaigning is being carried out mostly by party workers and supporters who are seeking support, door to door. "I have held meetings with area MLAs extensively, and from Friday, we will start a programme to touch every area in the constituency. Like on Friday, in the first half, I will go to Badli and in the latter half of the day to Narela. Then the next day we will go to Kirari and Mundka. This way, we plan to cover two areas every day,'' she said.

On development, she may be attacked by her political rivals but Tirath remains unfazed and insists she has done a lot of work over the past five years. "I have upgraded hospitals and constructed chaupals, hospitals, maternity hospitals and community centres. We spent Rs 400 crore on constructing roads and another Rs 200 crore on roads in areas where they never existed like Nangloi to Najafgarh,'' she said.

The one-time MP counts Metro as one of her biggest achievements. "The Metro has come till Mundka. Now we want to extend the line going from Siraspur village till Narela. It was halted in between because of some issue with farmers' land for which they are being compensated. In Rohini's sectors 1 to 40, we plan to have more schools, dispensaries, hospitals, community centres, parks and religious centres. Pipelines have been laid in Kirari and a reservoir made for increased water supply,'' she said.

Tirath dismisses her rivals within the party as "nothing" and the ant-incumbency concerns for the Congress too. "At least in my constituency, there is no anti-incumbency,'' she said, adding: "The BJP candidate is an outsider. There are cases against him I'm told. As for the AAP candidate, everyone knows she asked for money from the previous candidate to campaign for him. Then there was that incident - she lodged a complaint against a child who threw a ball at her car. Even her father is abusive and egoistic and is known to threaten to everyone. She has no image whatsoever to speak of,'' said Tirath.
