The strong presence of voters of Uttarakhand origin in many areas of National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi and other places like Chandigarh has made the candidates from these constituencies to look into the direction of prominent leaders of Uttarakhand for campaigning in their support. It is estimated that at least 30 lakh voters of Uttarakhand origin are in the seven constituencies of Delhi and nearby areas.

Due to their formidable presence both the major political parties, the Congress and BJP have inducted their prominent leaders from Uttarakhand to campaign in these areas. From BJP, Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, his cabinet colleagues Satpal Maharaj and Madan Kaushik have campaigned in Delhi apart from former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna and Ramesh Pokhariyal ‘ Nishank’. In the areas like Laxminagar in Delhi, CM Rawat had addressed public meetings in support of cricketer turned politician Gautam Gambhir. In response, the Congress pushed former chief minister and general secretary of All India Congress Committee (AICC) Harish Rawat, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Pritam Singh and Leader of Opposition in state assembly Indira Hridayesh for poll campaign in national capital.

In view of the large number of voters of Uttarakhand origin, the Congress party in the assembly elections of Delhi in the year 2015 had promised that the party if voted to power would provide financial assistance to annual ‘ Uttaraini Fairs’ on the lines of the Chhat fairs.With leaders of both Congress and BJP from Uttarakhand wooing them it remains to be seen the party which the natives of Uttarakhand would favour more.Apart from seven lok Sabha seats of Delhi, the Uttarakhand origin voters are in good concentration in constituencies like Ambala and Faridabad in Haryana.

Similarly the Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh also have sizeable population of people of Uttarakhand origin.

Chandigarh parliamentary constituency is another constituency where a good population of native of Uttarakhand reside.
