[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 196706, member: 14641"] Despite the Modi wave and the backing of the Shiromani Akali Dal, BJP's situation in the Sikh-dominated West Delhi constituency looks grim because of the wrong choice of candidate. The party's candidate for the Lok Sabha Parvesh Verma, who recently won the Assembly elections from Mehrauli, is struggling with West Delhi's Sikh community. [IMG]http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014March/west-delhi_650_032914092555.jpg[/IMG] [CENTER]AAP has fielded Jarnail Singh against BJP's Parvesh Verma (right)[/CENTER] Sikhs constitute more than 16-18 per cent of the total voters in the West Delhi constituency and can prove to be the decisive factor in this election. According to sources, former journalist and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Jarnail Singh, being a Sikh, is being favoured by the voters of the community over Verma, the Jat candidate. "While the Sikh community of Rajouri Garden and Tagore Garden seem to be in favour of the BJP because of Majinder Singh Sirsa, the Rajouri Garden MLA, but Sikh-dominated areas like Kirti Nagar, Pratap Nagar, Hari Nagar and Tilak Nagar, which have over 60 per cent voters belonging to the community seem to have an inclination towards Jarnail Singh," a BJP source said. [B]Not discouraged[/B] However, this hasn't discouraged former Delhi CM Sahib Singh Verma's son, who has been canvassing for more than 16 hours a day across his constituency.
