Delhi Assembly elections will witness a three-cornered fight between the BJP, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party. The AAP, led by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, is aiming to retain power for a third consecutive term, while the BJP is eyeing to wrest power in the national capital. The Congress is also preparing for a strong fight, hoping to emerge as a surprise winner.
The AAP first came to power in December 2013, with the help of the Congress in the hung assembly. However, after just 49 days in power, Kejriwal resigned as Chief Minister, citing an inability to pass the anti-corruption Jan Lokpal Bill. In the next two elections--in 2015 and 2020--the party swept Delhi with 67 and 62 seats, respectively, and the BJP was left with single digits in those elections. The Congress, meanwhile, drew blank.
