New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded its National General Secretary Dushyant Gautam from the Karol Bagh constituency (reserved for SC), a stronghold of the AAP. While the AAP MLA Vishesh Ravi has claimed that he has done a lot to address fundamental issues, Dushyant Gautam said 'the area is riddled with so much problems'.
The seat has been under the control of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the past 11 years. Both the BJP and the AAP have won the seat three times each. However, when the BJP faced direct competition from the Congress, Surendra Pal Ratawal managed to secure victory for the saffron party three out of four times. To break this trend, the BJP has taken a bold step this time by fielding senior party leader from this seat.
