BJP, which has been a strong opponent of familyism, fielded Savita Kapoor for the Cantt assembly seat. Savita Kapoor is the wife of late Harbans Kapoor, who was the MLA from Cantt. The party played a sympathy card by fielding Savita Kapoor as its candidate, but other ticket contenders are seeing it as an exercise to support familyism.
