Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party after it announces candidates for upcoming Delhi Assembly polls, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said on Monday that the list contains names of all "Daagdar (tainted)" people.
Speaking to ANI, Khandelwal said, "Is list mein sare daagdar naam hai, (There are all "daagdaar" names in the list). These are the same people who could not give anything to the people of Delhi in the last 10 years. The people of Delhi will teach them a lesson in the elections. There will be a change and the BJP government will be formed in Delhi." The AAP unveiled its fourth and final list of 38 candidates for the 2025 Delhi Elections on Sunday. According to the list, the party's national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will contest from New Delhi, Chief Minister Atishi from Kalkaji, Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj from Greater Kailash, and Minister Gopal Rai from Babarpur. Additionally, Satyendra Kumar Jain will contest from Shakur Basti, Durgesh Pathak from Rajinder Nagar, Ramesh Pehalwan from Kasturba Nagar, Raghuvinder Shokeen from Nangloi Jat, Som Dutt from Sadar Bazar, Imran Hussain from Ballimaran, and Jarnail Singh from Tilak Nagar. The list features two new names, while 36 sitting MLAs have been re-nominated. AAP has fielded Ramesh Pehalwan from Kasturba Nagar and Pooja Naresh Balyan, wife of BJP leader Naresh Balyan, from Uttam Nagar. On Friday, AAP released its third list of candidates, fielding Tarun Yadav from Najafgarh. Earlier, on December 9, the party issued its second list, replacing 17 sitting MLAs with new faces. However, three familiar names--Manish Sisodia, Rakhi Birla, and Deepu Chaudhary--were re-nominated. Congress, which was in power in Delhi for 15 successive years, has performed poorly in the past two assembly polls, failing to win any seat. AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eighth seats. (ANI)
