Ghaziabad to see a clash of titans

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 03 April 2014 | 22.10

GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad parliamentary constituency came into existence in 2008, following implementation of the recommendations of the Delimitation Commission. Prior to that, Ghaziabad was a part of Hapur Lok Sabha seat. It comprises five assembly segments spread across Ghaziabad and Hapur districts. It will go to polls on April 10 to elect its second MP, the BJP president Rajnath Singh being the first MP in 2009 who came to power after defeating Surendra Prakash Goel of Congress.

The 2014 general election in Ghaziabad has been the focus of attention as three star candidates—Raj Babbar (Congress), V K Singh (BJP) and Shazia Ilmi (Aam Aadmi Party)—will be battling it out. Contenders of other prominent parties include Sudhan Rawat from SP and Mukul Upadhyay of the BSP.

A significant portion of the parliamentary seat, among UP's largest with 23 lakh voters, is the urban section concentrated in Ghaziabad and Sahibabad assembly segments of the constituency. Loni, Dhaulana and a large portion of Muradnagar assembly segment comprise a rural population which votes mostly on caste and religious lines, say political experts.

Experts also feel that BSP has built a strong base for itself in Ghaziabad over the years, which is evident in the manner in which votes were cast inthe 2012 assembly elections. BSP managed to win four of the five constituencies, leaving only the Dhaulana seat to SP.

In comparison, the voting pattern in 2009 general elections showed BJP had managed to emerge victorious in four of Ghaziabad's five assembly constituencies. The Congress, which ranked second, had accumulated more votes than BJP only in Loni.

The single-most important assembly seat in Ghaziabad that might decide the winning candidate is likely to be Sahibabad with nearly 8 lakh voters. This area, known for its large number of industries, is expected to vote on a range of issues including infrastructure development, education, health and connectivity issues.
