Five-time winner from Matia Mahal Shoaib Iqbal, who fought this time on a Congress ticket, has a tough battle on his hands. "It's jhadu (broom) for all of us as most of us want change. I stay in this area which has become one of the worst ghettos and travel to Gurgaon for work. Delhi and NCR have developed so much," says Mohammed Riaz, a call centre employee.
