Rambeer Shokeen may be a crucial link in the formation of a new government in Delhi. Who is Mundka's independent elected representative who wants nothing less than the deputy Chief Minister's seat?

He describes himself a social worker but thanks to the Delhi elections, Rambeer Shokeen may be one of the reasons that decides whether Delhi gets a government or President's rule before re-elections are held to elect a new government.

The lone independent candidate to emerge victorious in the Delhi polls, Shokeen, was understandably ecstatic when he won from the Mundka seat of New Delhi by a little over 7,100 votes. And given how the others parties who contested the polls had fared, Shokeen was quite hopeful of what the future held for him.

"The only condition of joining the BJP is the post of deputy CM, I don't want anything to else. If Modi offers me the post of deputy CM in Delhi, then I will join BJP," Shokeen told CNN-IBN after his victory.

On his website the 34-year-old resident of Nangloi in Delhi, says he's an Indian social worker and said he is "always ready to help the poor and needy". His Facebook profile largely consists of messages wishing people good morning or good night depending on the time and but after his victory he posted a status message thanking all his supporters.

"AAP SABHI KO MUJHE ELECTION ME JITANE KE LIYE HARDHIK DANYAWAAD.......THANKS ALL OF YOU......RAMBIR SHOKEEN," he wrote. (Caps are his)

His wife Reeta is a councillor in the local civic body and Shokeen, who has done his masters in computer applications from Panjab Technical University, hasn't contested an election before.

Shokeen was reportedly denied a ticket by the BJP which resulted in him contesting as an independent in the election and thanks to the cold shoulder from the party earlier, the independent has declared that he won't ally with the party unless he's requested by no one less than the party's PM candidate Narendra Modi.

According to his affidavit filed with the Election Commission, Shokeen has one case against him under the Electricity Act for which he was convicted and ordered to pay a fine.

Shokeen has one Maruti 800 and thanks to some land holdings has assets worth over Rs one crore. However, the social worker says he had taken a bank loan of Rs two lakh to buy the car.

Winning the seat without the backing of any political party is undoubtedly an achievement for the independent candidate but the standoff between all the parties in the national capital isn't something the independent MLA would view with trepidation. Without an alliance in place, he is that much further from the deputy chief minister's seat.
