Political Parties Gearing Up for Delhi Polls

As the assembly election nears in the national capital, the political temperature is on a surge as the major parties, including the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ), and Congress , gear up for a fiercely contested election. While Congress remains in the race, the primary battle is expected to be between Arvind Kejriwal -led AAP and BJP, led by JP Nadda.

The BJP, which has not been in power in Delhi since 1998, is pulling out all the stops to challenge AAP's dominance. AAP has been the ruling party since 2013, and in the last two Assembly elections (2015 and 2020), it decisively defeated the BJP, restricting it to just three and eight seats, respectively. The Congress, which once had a strong presence in Delhi, has been struggling as many of its traditional supporters shifted to AAP in the last few years, leaving the party with no seats in the last two elections.

BJP vs AAP: List of Candidates for Delhi Elections Out

Ahead of the upcoming Delhi Polls in January-end or early February 2025, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has released its first list comprising of names of 29 candidates while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has already released five lists.

Looking at the key candidates in the ‘BJP vs AAP’ tussle in the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections, BJP has fielded Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma opposite the AAP Chief and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi. Kailash Gahlot, who was earlier part of AAP and had recently joined BJP, has been fielded from Bijwasan while Ramesh Bidhuri will be opposite Delhi Chief Minister Atishi from Kalkaji.
