The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unveiled its first list of candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, naming 29 contenders. Esteemed former Member of Parliament Pravesh Verma will challenge Kejriwal, while seasoned BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri faces Delhi Chief Minister Atishi in Kalkaji. Kailash Gahlot, who transitioned from the Aam Aadmi Party to BJP, will contest from the Bijwasan seat.
Pravesh Verma's candidacy has set the stage for an exhilarating contest on the high-profile New Delhi Assembly seat. The Congress, on this very seat, has presented Sandeep Dikshit, son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, as their candidate. The battle here is a riveting triangular contest among Kejriwal, Pravesh Verma, and Sandeep Dikshit. Meanwhile, Kalkaji witnesses an equally competitive match-up between Atishi, Ramesh Bidhuri, and Alka Lamba.
