The election for the Mayor of London is scheduled for May 2 and the battleground of candidates challenging the incumbent, Sadiq Khan, is gradually expanding with two Indian-origin entrepreneurs in the race as independent candidates.

Tarun Ghulati's election tagline is "trust and growth" and Batra has gone for "ambassador of hope".
