This matchup is anticipated to be one of the most closely watched contests in the election.
In Karol Bagh, the BJP has nominated Dushyant Gautam, aiming to strengthen its foothold in this significant constituency. Manjinder Singh Sirsa has been chosen to represent the party in Rajouri Garden, bringing his experience and influence to the campaign.
Kailash Gahlot, formerly associated with AAP, has been fielded by the BJP in Bijwasan, indicating the party’s strategy to leverage his local popularity and insights. Arvinder Singh Lovely, a seasoned politician, will contest from Gandhi Nagar, adding weight to the BJP’s lineup.
