MCD polls: Of penniless candidates, senior citizens

MCD polls: Of penniless candidates, senior citizensNew Delhi, Apr 1 (PTI) Rajani Chouhan, a BSP candidate for the Delhi municipal polls, has only Rs 40 in her hand while one of the youngest contestants Mamta Kumari is penniless. 
These interesting figures form part of the affidavits of candidates filing nomination for the April 15 polls for the three municipal bodies in the capital. Chouhan, the BSP candidate in Rajinder Nagar, and her husband have movable property worth Rs 11.5 lakh but curiously she has just Rs 40 in her hand and her husband Rs 35, according to her affidavit. The couple has given Rs three lakh as loan while both have shown an annual income of Rs 4.31 lakh this fiscal. Another candidate, Mamta Kumari, an Independent contesting from Narela, does not have a single rupee in her hand though she has Rs 1,000 in bank. The contestant has completed her BEd course. Similar is the case of a candidate of Indian Democratic Party in west Delhi's Raja Garden, Sonu Suri, who does not have a single penny with her. Suri also does not own any movable or immovable property in her name.
