Dharmender Singh

Dharmender Singh Koli is an Indian politician from Delhi. He is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party and was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Delhi in December 2013 from the Seemapuri constituency.

Early life and education

Koli passed the Class 10 All India Secondary School Examination in 2005.

Political career

From 2005 to 2013, Koli had assisted his social activist sister, Santosh Koli, in her work for Parivartan, an organisation that had been established by Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia. Santosh had been selected by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to contest the seat of Seemapuri in the December 2013 Delhi legislative assembly elections but died following a hit and run accident in June 2013. In August, Dharmender was chosen to replace her as the AAP candidate in Seemapuri.

Seemapuri is a socially and economically deprived constituency whose electorate comprises a large population of Muslims, many of whom have their origins in West Bengal. The constituency is reserved for Scheduled Castes and up to 2013 had traditionally elected Indian National Congress (Congress) representatives, although it had received little practical attention from successive governments.
