Delhi Assembly Election 2025: Malviya Nagar is an area of posh colonies. Aam Aadmi Party has dominated this assembly for the last three times. This is the same seat on which Janata Party had once won. In 1977, the Janata Party candidate had defeated the Congress. Congress won this assembly seat in 1998, 2003 and 2008. But as soon as Aam Aadmi Party came, Somnath Bharti captured this seat strongly. Panchsheel Vihar, Gautam Nagar, Sarvodaya Enclave, Krishna Nagar, Arjun Nagar, Press Enclave, Aurobindo Marg come under Malviya Nagar Assembly. The special thing about this assembly is that the maximum number of people coming here from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.
There are a total of 1,55,712 voters in Malviya Nagar Assembly. In which the number of male voters is 83,067 while the number of female voters is 72,641. Whereas the number of third gender is 4. If we look at the 2020 assembly results, Aam Aadmi Party got 52,043 votes, Bharatiya Janata Party got 33,899 votes while Congress got 2,856 votes. As far as percentage is concerned, Aam Aadmi Party got 57.97 percent votes, BJP got 37.76 percent votes and Congress got 3.18 percent votes.
Aam Aadmi Party has given ticket only to its sitting MLA Somnath Bharti who has tried his luck in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Somnath Bharti lost to BJP candidate Vansuri Swaraj. Somnath Bharti has a good hold in the area. He has also been in controversy. Whereas BJP gave ticket to former Delhi State President Satish Upadhyay. Satish Upadhyay held the post of Chairman in NDMC till recently. Satish Upadhyay had gained a lot of fame as the state president. However, BJP could not win the elections. But the way Satish Upadhyay gives his arguments can give him support. Whereas Congress has given ticket to Jintendra Singh Kochhar.
As far as the problems of this area are concerned, there is the problem of waterlogging and sewerage here also. The biggest problem is parking especially in Malviya Nagar Market. Many banks are located on roadsides where the public does not have parking facilities, due to which they have to face a lot of difficulties. Dr. Rajesh Kumar, resident of Panchsheel Vihar, says that many lofts have been built on the streets but there is no parking facility. Due to its proximity to Gurgaon, this area is the first choice for people seeking jobs there. But there is nothing special in the name of convenience. Sandeep Mitra, who is running his small office in Khirki village, says that the heap of garbage in the street will tell everything. You go and see for yourself. There is also Malviya Assembly Indira and Valmiki camps where the youth say that employment will be their issue. At the same time, a network of encroachments is spread on Press Enclave and Aurobindo Marg. The special thing is that the computer market Nehru Place is at a short distance from here, due to which there is traffic. However, there are possibilities of a triangular contest in this assembly also.
