HOW SHE PERFORMED

Being an opposition MLA, she could not bring any project here and charged the SAD-led government with neglecting the city for the last 10 years. SAD halqa in-charge Bhagwan Dass and his son were extra-constituti­onal powers, but neither did they bring any developmen­t nor allowed her to, she says. However, her critics says she remained MP thrice here and once even a Union Minister, and her tenures coincided with Congress rule in the state and Centre, but she failed to much even then. Localities like Khalsa Mohalla and Matura Colony reveal the dark side of the city, lacking even drainage system. In 10 years, indeed, the city has not got any major project except announceme­nts of upgrade of Rajindra Hospital. However, she is accessible and attends social functions.
