AAP, Congress announce canddiates list, BJP yet to release
The AAP has so far released four lists of candidates, declaring all names for the upcoming elections, while Congress has also released a list of 21 candidates. The AAP released its final and fourth list of 38 candidates on December 15.
The BJP is yet to declare its candidates for the elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly.
Kejriwal in a post on X said the AAP is contesting the elections with full confidence and full preparation.
"BJP is missing. They have no CM face, no team, no planning and no vision for Delhi. They have only one slogan, only one policy and only one mission - "Remove Kejriwal". Ask them what they did in five years and they reply, 'Kejriwal ko bahut gaali di'," he charged in the post.
