Delhi Congress show or 'no-show'?
It was supposed to be a media interaction with all the 70 candidates of the Congress party who will contest the Delhi assembly polls Nov 29.
However, with just a handful of them turning up at the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee's (DPCC) meet-the-candidates event Saturday and chaos reigning, the show was not quite the interaction it was supposed to be.
Barely 35 odd candidates, including Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit (New Delhi), Amod Kanth (Sangam Vihar), Kiran Walia (Malviya Nagar) and Prem Singh (Ambedkar Nagar), posed for the scores of cameras, showing the 'V' sign. The thin attendance of the candidates was more than obvious.
DPCC president J.P. Aggarwal, however, put up a brave face for this 'no show'. 'The ones who could not make it are busy with their campaigning,' he said.
While the candidates were missing, the number of supporters for the event seemed high - and much of the buzz was concentrated around the food tables.
