In a strategic move to strengthen its position in the politically vibrant landscape of Delhi, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the National Democratic Alliance, has unveiled its lineup of 30 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for February 5.
Among the key candidates, Vishvanath Agarwal has been fielded by the NCP to challenge AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, intensifying the stakes in a city where political powerhouses like BJP's Parvesh Verma and Congress' Sandeep Dikshit are also vying for voter support.
As the battle intensifies across various constituencies, with leaders such as Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri contesting from Kalkaji, all eyes are set on the capital's political dynamics. With the AAP's significant win in the 2020 elections as the backdrop, this election could redefine the political equations in Delhi.
