Workers of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and Akali Dal (Badal) have been promoting Parvesh Verma in West Delhi which is a stronghold of the Sikh community. Parvesh Verma, the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) candidate from West Delhi, is facing a tough challenge by Jarnail Singh of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Jarnail Singh, who has come into limelight recently, is the former journalist who tossed a shoe at P. Chidambaram. Local Sikhs have worked hard to bring the current management of Delhi Gurdwaras into power by sacking the party of Paramjit Sarna, however lately there has been much uproar about the current committee indulging in pitiful politics to promote BJP.
