For Padma Ram — who boasts of his close proximity with the Gandhis — this was nothing short of a sabotage. “My father Jirku Ram was a store-keeper with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. I was barely 27 when I was employed at the Prime Minister’s residence as a personal staff of Indira Gandhi. Later, I worked for Rajiv Gandhi and his family. I have worked with a number of Prime Ministers — Morarji Desai, Charan Singh, Atalji,” he said, blaming local partymen for not supporting his son.
Another key loser was Sanjay Rana, who has been handling catering for the Congress party in Delhi for a long time. He lost to BJP’s Ravinder Singh Ravi, a three-time MLA from Thural constituency in Kangra district.
