Sushma launches poll campaign from home
Santwana Bhattacharya
NEW DELHI, Nov 9: With only two weeks to the hustings, the seasons of pre-poll pageantry set in on Sunday in full earnest as the race to the 70-seat Delhi Assembly entered the home stretch. The Congress had its hired auto-rickshaws blaring parodies of `Vande Mataram' in the city's bylanes as the Bharatiya Janata Party opened elections offices at the various constituencies with full religiosity.It was with a ceremonial puja, breaking of coconuts and an appeal to women voters that Chief Minister Sushma Swaraj inaugurated the party's campaign in south Delhi's upmarket Hauz Khas locality, the 50,000-voter constituency she is contesting from.
