NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: What binds a teacher, a doctor, a Delhi university professor and a social activist together? It’s the assembly elections.
In a few days from now, they will be contesting against each other from various seats of Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad. In the two NCR districts of Noida and Ghaziabad, there are 16 woman candidates in total so far. The maximum for any political party, three, have been fielded by Congress, which is relying on its “ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon” campaign. While Pankhuri Pathak has been fielded from Noida, Sangeeta Tyagi, the wife of deceased party spokesperson Rajiv Tyagi, is the Congress candidate from Sahibabad. Neeraj Kumari has been given the party ticket from Modinagar.
