Synonymous with Chandni Chowk in political circles, Vijay Goel says contesting from New Delhi will not make any difference
What is your poll plank this time?
As it is a parliamentary election, the main focus is on national issues like terrorism, unemployment and price rise. The UPA government adopted a soft policy towards terrorism. Even after four months of the Mumbai attack, the government has done nothing except writing a few letters to Pakistan. Today, the youth who comprise almost half of the population of our country are reeling under unemployment. The BJP plans to create vast job opportunities in the IT and telecommunication sector. As far as rising prices are concerned leave alone those living below poverty line even the higher middle class is badly affected by the price rise during the five years of Congress rule. Among local issues traffic, parking, BRT, electricity, water and roads are there.
You've contested from different constituencies, how does it affect your chances?
Wherever I go, I win. I am no outsider to the New Delhi constituency. A large part of my Sadar constituency is now a part of New Delhi. Otherwise too, I live in Bengali Market. I let my work do the most of talking for me. I am not a politician who functions from air-conditioned rooms. I am the most accessible leader in Delhi. I am available to my voters 24X7.
Blogging is fast becoming a popular campaign tool. Do you also plan to write a blog?
I do not blog but I am going to launch my website soon where people can visit and access to the agenda I have for them.
How do you relax?
I work 24X7 mostly. I can only fall asleep after the people of Delhi go to their bed peacefully.
Being a Tabla player yourself, what kind of music do you enjoy?
I love Sufi music. I also enjoy Bollywood oldies. Nowadays, I also listen to English songs along with my children. I also watch movies occasionally.
What about food?
I prefer simple food. I am a pure vegetarian. I like paratha. I also eat pasta.
