Official apathy, faeces outsides homes: Disquiet in Delhi’s reserved seats

Past trends show that the party that wins the majority of Delhi’s reserved assembly seats also forms the government in the national capital. Most had voted for the Congress in 2008, and then for the AAP in 2013, 2015 and 2020 elections.

But what are Dalit voters thinking in the city’s 12 reserved assembly segments this time?

Apart from the BJP, Congress and AAP, the BSP and Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) are also contesting several seats.

What is the state of development in the areas where Dalit voters live? How much has life improved for them? Newslaundry visited Trilokpuri and Kondli in East Delhi to find out.
