Congress communications department chairman Ajay Maken is pitted against lawyer-turned-politician Meenakshi Lekhi of the BJP and journalist-turned-politician Ashish Khetan of the AAP in the New Delhi constituency. If the trends emanating from the Delhi assembly polls are anything to go by, Mr Maken has a tough contest at hand. The AAP had come up with a stunning performance in December, wresting seven of the 10 assembly segments falling in the Lok Sabha constituency.
