AAP will work to develop Ghaziabad, says Shazia

Ilmi, who narrowly lost the Delhi assembly election to the Bharatiya Janata Party, is also a familiar face here thanks in part to her journalistic past.

Sisodia said it was the AAP government in Delhi which approved the extension of Delhi Metro from Dilshad Garden in east Delhi to the New Bus Stand in Ghaziabad.

"We are shocked to see the Samajwadi Party and the BJP president (Rajnath Singh) putting up banners claiming credit for this work," he said.

A master in mass communication, Ilmi was a journalist with Zee News and Star News when she decided to plunge into politics.

She became associated with Kejriwal and later joined the AAP.
