In a bid to catch eyeballs, young leaders across BJP and Congress are keen to take on bigwigs in next month's assembly polls. Most of these aspirants have served as DUSU office bearers and are of the belief that a successful fight against politicians, whose careers often began even before they, themselves, were born, will boost their own stature.
Former NSUI leader Ragni Nayak, who served as president and secretary in Delhi University Students Union, is a strong contender from Congress party on Janakpuri seat against BJP veteran Jagdish Mukhi. A six-time MLA from Janakpuri, Mukhi has served as finance minister during BJP's rule in 1993-98. In 2008, he defeated Congress's Deepak Arora by a significant margin.
On Tilak Nagar, another BJP stronghold, former DUSU leader and sitting councillor Amrita Dhawan from Congress is in race for ticket with Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi. BJP's four-time sitting MLA O P Babbar had defeated Congress's Anita Babbar here in 2008 by a margin of 10,000 votes. But Dhawan, who is still in her 20s, thinks she will give the septuagenarian Babbar a tough fight.
