She is a candidate for the Delhi civic polls.
With a subtle smile on her face, Chandni talks to her aide about the plan for the day and the neighbourhoods to campaign in Pratap Vihar - ward no. 33 in crammed neighbourhood of outer Delhi. Chandni, addressed as a 'hijra' by locals, is among the few eunuch candidates contesting the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections for the first time.

This independent candidate belonging to the so-called third sex stands strong with her poll mantra: "Nar dekha, naari dekhi, Is baar kinnar ki baari. (You've voted for men and women, this time vote for a transgender)".
