The national capital will see a triangular battle between BJP, Congress, and AAP over 7 seats.
Delhi that went to polls on May 12 saw AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal running the party's campaign around the issue of 'statehood' for Delhi. Congress and AAP attempted to stitch an anti-BJP alliance, however, failed.
