About Rohini

Rohini

Rohini constituency is notorious for close electoral battles, with margins as narrow as 5,000 votes in previous contests. BJP’s Vijender Gupta, a two-time winner, is once again in the fray. Gupta’s victory margin in 2020 was 12,000 votes, but he faces a formidable challenge from AAP’s Pradeep Mittal. The BJP hopes to leverage Gupta’s experience, while AAP is focusing on welfare initiatives and door-to-door campaigns to narrow the gap.
