The Congress candidate from Malviya Nagar assembly seat, Prof. Kiran Walia is using social media as well traditional ways of campaigning in her constituency areas that include Safdarjung Enclave, Green Park, Yusuf Sarai, Hauz Khas village, Geetanjali Enclave, IIT campus, Niti Bagh, Gulmohar Park and Uday Park.
Walia, who has won the Malviya Nagar seat twice, is all set to give a tough fight to her closest rival Bharatiya Janata Party’s leader and former mayor Arti Mehra. Walia has been an MLA for the last 15 years.
Though Walia is using social media in a big way to reach out to the voters, she is also relying on her network of friends and acquaintances, especially old friends from the Delhi University faculty.
‘One gets the right feedback from the traditional friends. They organise and invite me to small events and meetings and that helps a lot. My old colleagues and students are helping me in a big way too,’ said a confident Walia. ‘Along with social media I am distributing pamphlets showing achievements and some hoardings. My USP (unique selling point) is clean image and good work,’ she said.
‘I am attending meetings organised by various clubs, market associations, groups and resident welfare associations (RWA’s) in the constituency. We are conducting padyatra’s in various parts and informing people about the good work done by me as well as the Delhi Government,’ she said.
‘Currently, I am being supported by about 50 professors from various Delhi University Colleges in my campaign along with a team of doctors and students. My son Sameer and daughter Ishita are also helping me. As social welfare minister I had done good work for elderly citizens so I have their blessings all the time,’ said Walia.
