Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: BJP and AAP Intensify Campaigns with Sharp Exchanges

As BJP releases its second candidate list, both parties trade accusations over leadership, voter irregularities, and governance failures.

The BJP has released its second list of 29 candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections, including prominent names like Kapil Mishra and Priyanka Gautam, who recently joined from AAP.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal accused BJP leaders of voter list irregularities and called for the disqualification of BJP candidate Parvesh Verma over alleged fake votes.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Kejriwal's governance, alleging neglect of slum dwellers and accusing him of extravagance at the former Chief Minister's residence, dubbed 'Sheesh Mahal.'
Kejriwal claimed BJP has chosen Ramesh Bidhuri as its chief ministerial candidate and challenged him to a public debate, though BJP has not officially confirmed a CM candidate.
The Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled for February 5, with results to be announced on February 8, intensifying the rivalry between BJP and AAP in the capital.
