The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), an ally of the BJP in the National Democratic Alliance, on Friday released a list of 30 candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections.
The party, led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, has fielded Vishvanath Agarwal from New Delhi against AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. BJP's Parvesh Verma and Congress' Sandeep Dikshit are other candidates for the seat.
The party has fielded Zameel from the Kalkaji constituency. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress' Alka Lamba are in the fray for the seat. NCP has Ratan Tyagi from the Burari constituency, Mulayam Singh from Badli, Khem Chand Baswal from Mangol Puri (SC) and Mohd Usman from Shalimar Bagh. Danish Ali will contest from Krishna Nagar, Namaha from Laxmi Nagar, and Rajesh Lohiya from Seemapuri.
Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled for 5 February, with votes to be counted on 8 February. A three-way contest is anticipated in Delhi, with leaders of AAP, BJP and Congress exchanging attacks against each other. Congress, which held power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, suffered setbacks in the last two Assembly elections and failed to win any seat.
AAP dominated the 2020 Assembly elections, securing 62 out of 70 seats, while the BJP won eight seats.
