Mohan Singh Bisht, a five-time MLA, is one of the heavyweight candidates of BJP.
Within hours of dropping his name from Karawal Nagar and Mr. Bisht announcing he would contest as an Independent, the BJP named him on January 12 as a candidate but from a different seat – Mustafabad.
After his name was dropped, Mr. Bisht had issued a warning to his party saying, “You have challenged the samaj [Uttarakhand community], not Mohan Singh Bisht. The BJP will lose at least 8-10 seats because of this decision, including Karawal Nagar, Burari, Mustafabad and Gokalpuri.”
He said, “I have assured them [BJP] that I will contest from Mustafabad and win the seat for the party.” The BJP has fielded former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kapil Mishra from Karawal Nagar earlier.
