He has a taste for speed and luxury cars but Manjinder Singh Sirsa’s tryst with politics began with a morning walk a few years ago.The experience of hopping over potholes that dotted the roads around his West Punjabi Bagh home lingered on till many days, Sirsa says.
“In the community park, I also heard people talking about the sorry state of development in the area. That day I decided to contest elections. No one can find a potholed road in my ward now,” Sirsa says.
Punjabi Bagh, the ward that Sirsa represented so far, has been reserved for women this time, and his wife Satwinder Kaur Sirsa is now contesting next month’s municipal elections from here on a BJP ticket backed by the Shiromani Akali Dal.
