Taking its name from a colony in which a large number of refugees were rehabilitated following Partition, Rajinder Nagar constituency is dominated by the Punjabi community. The dominance of one community and of residents of the Old Rajinder Nagar and New Rajinder Nagar colony reflects in the selection of candidates – former MLA and spokesperson R.P. Singh by BJP and national spokesperson Raghav Chadha by Aam Aadmi Party.On the other hand, the Congress has fielded a student leader from a local village and the Jat community, Rocky Tuseed.
