Asked whether she would contest elections, she said, "That is the plan, if the party wants me to."<br /><br />According to Congress sources, she may be fielded from Greater Kailash — she did not, however, confirm this. Sources said she has been attending Delhi Congress events. Most recently, she was seen at a candlelight march organised to protest power outages in Delhi.
