Nomination process for 70 member Delhi Assembly ends

The nomination process for the 70-member Delhi Assembly has ended yesterday with over one thousand candidates filing their nominations. On the last day of nominations from the BJP’s side, Shikha Rai and Neeraj Basoya have filed their nominations. Awadh Ojha, Rakhi Bidlan, and Bandana Kumari of the Aam Aadmi Party, among others, also made their nominations. Monday is the last date for the withdrawal of candidature.

With the end of the nomination, the candidates from the Aam Aadmi Party, BJP, and Congress, as well as small parties and independents, have intensified their campaign by holding padayatra and door-to-door meetings to seek support in their favour. Senior BJP leader Anurag Singh Thakur, party MP Bansuri Swaraj, and several Delhi BJP



leaders campaigned in various parts of the city in favour of party candidates. Senior AAP leader and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and other Aam Aadmi Party leaders also organised roadshows and padayatra in the National Capital.

From the Congress side, Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav and others also hit the ground. After a series of promises by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party and Congress in this assembly poll, BJP today also unveiled a set of promises related to pensions, LPG cylinders, and financial benefits to poor women to attract voters.

Voting for the Delhi Assembly elections will be held on the 5th of next month and the counting on the 8th of February.
