The deadline for filing the nomination for the Delhi assembly elections to be held on February 8 is over, giving a clearer picture of the candidate lists of the three main parties – the Aam Aadmi Party, the BJP and the Congress – in the fray.
While the Aam Aadmi Party was the first to announce its candidates for all 70 assembly segments in one go on January 14, the BJP only released details of its final list early on Tuesday as it announced 10 more candidates.
The saffron party has fielded candidates on 67 seats, leaving the rest for its allies from Bihar: JD(U) and the LJP. The Congress, on the other hand, has fielded candidates on 67 seats.
Many bigwigs, including CM Arvind Kejriwal, have retained their preferred seats for the poll battle. The Delhi CM will once again contest from New Delhi seat, from where he had in 2013 and 2015 defeated three-time Congress CM Sheila Dikshit.
Leader of Opposition Vijendra Gupta from the BJP and senior leaders including Arvinder Singh Lovely, Poonam Azad and Ashok Kumar Walia from the Congress also filed their nominations.
Among the new faces contesting the elections are Atishi, who will contest on an AAP ticket from Kalkaji, Raghav Chadha, who was been fielded by AAP from Rajinder Nagar and Tejinder Bagga, who will contest from Hari Nagar on a BJP ticket.
