Wives campaign to ensure hubbies' success

To bridge the divide

New Delhi: They are apolitical and have been pursuing their independent careers, but the general elections have brought them out on the campaign trail. Wives of several Lok Sabha candidates in the capital are busy for over 20 hours a day, wooing voters on behalf of their husbands.

The wives are concentrating on women voters who form over 45 percent of Delhi's electorate. Promila Sibal, wife of Congress candidate from Chandni Chowk Kapil Sibal, feels that women in her husband's constituency are more open to her and talk on a variety of issues.
