Arvind Kejriwal will contest elections only from New Delhi seat
Rejecting the claim of BJP leaders of contesting Delhi Assembly elections from another seat due to fear of losing from New Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal said that he will contest from only one seat. Kejriwal also said that the assembly elections are not a matter of ‘India’ alliance, as there is a direct contest between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi.
Kejriwal, a three-time MLA from New Delhi since 2013, is facing a tough triangular contest on this seat with the sons of two former Chief Ministers of Delhi. BJP has fielded Parvesh Verma, son of former Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma, while Congress has given ticket to Sandeep Dikshit, son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Kejriwal said in the press conference, “I am contesting from just one seat.” He was asked about BJP’s claim that he is going to contest from another seat also due to fear of defeat from New Delhi. Are.
The AAP leader’s clarification came after a post by BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya on ‘X’. Malviya had written that fearing his imminent defeat from New Delhi, Kejriwal was making ‘baseless allegations’ about the voter list of his constituency and was ‘talking’ about contesting from two seats.
Parvesh Verma accused Kejriwal of corruption
Earlier, BJP candidate from New Delhi Assembly seat Parvesh Verma made a scathing attack on former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and accused him of corruption and hypocrisy. He said that the Kejriwal of 2013 and 2025 are completely different. Speaking to news agency IANS, Verma criticized Kejriwal for allegedly misusing public funds to convert the chief minister’s official residence on Flagstaff Road into a luxurious ‘Sheesh Mahal’ when he was the Delhi Chief Minister.
Parvesh Verma claimed, “Now the whole city knows the truth. Even children are saying that Arvind Kejriwal has done corruption and built a palace. He had never promised that he would not use government cars or bungalows. Will do, but today the Kejriwal of 2013 and the Kejriwal of 2025 are completely different.”
Criticizing Kejriwal’s actions during the Covid-19 pandemic, Verma said, “When thousands of people were dying in Delhi, the construction work of a grand palace was going on at the Chief Minister’s official residence. I have written a letter to the PWD Secretary to inspect it.” “I have sought permission to do so and will take the local people along so that they can see how the public money was spent.”
There are 70 assembly seats in Delhi. Voting for the assembly elections will be held on February 5 and counting of votes will take place on February 8.
