"Two women came to my house on Monday morning with a register to enter my name if I wish to attend a political rally," Sheeza, a 26-yearold resident of Trilokpuri, stated. In addition to money, residents are being offered refreshments, which include cold drinks, pet bottles, water bottles and samosas.

"Many women from our area attended the rally and returned with the refreshments and money. They told me that organisers gave 200 for one hour in advance and asked to raise slogans and carry party's flags," added Sheeza.
