BJP’s Sat Prakash was the MLA from Bijwasan until he lost to Devinder Sehrawat of the AAP in the 2015 polls. Sehrawat later joined the BJP. In August last year, Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel had disqualified rebel AAP MLAs Sehrawat and Anil Bajpai under the anti-defection law, after the pair had shared the stage with Delhi BJP leaders during the Lok Sabha election which was held in May 2019. Both the disqualified MLAs had said that they will move the high court against the disqualification orders, Hindustan Times reported. Demographics: Jats are largely dominate pockets of Bijwasan. Part of the South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, caste will play a major role in determining the result in this segment. “It’s a misconception that South Delhi is an elite and urbane constituency. The choice of candidates by parties clearly shows that caste plays a decisive role in how people vote,” Sanjay Kumar of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) told Mail Today.
