DEHRADUN, APRIL 14: Rajni Rawat, the head eunuch of Dehradun, has turned the April 19 mayoral elections, into a colourful affair.
A large number of eunuchs, particularly those who have won elections in various parts of the country, are descending on Doon valley to campaign for her. The star attraction is Shabnam Mausi, the lone eunuch legislator of Madhya Pradesh. “We expect her to be here by Tuesday along with others like Asha Devi, a former mayor of Gorakhpur,” said Rajni. In her manifesto, Rajni promises to turn Doon into a clean city with special emphasis on providing better civic amenities for the poor and downtrodden living in slums. “I am a candidate of the poor and would like to do everything for the city,” she announced in one of her election meetings.
