Leaders and workers from the Kirari constituency also switched allegiance to the AAP.
Ahead of the February 5 Assembly elections in Delhi, several block-level leaders and workers from the Congress and BJP on Saturday joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the presence of Chief Minister Atishi. Welcoming the new members, Atishi said, “Taking inspiration from the work done by Arvind Kejriwal and AAP, the convoy of the party is growing by the day.”
Notable New Entrants to AAP
Prominent among those who joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was Mamata Verma, along with several Congress workers from the Wazirpur Assembly constituency. Leaders and workers from the Kirari constituency also switched allegiance to the AAP.
BJP’s former councillor candidate from Sundar Nagri, Bhumika Singh, also joined AAP along with her supporters, further bolstering the latter’s cadre-base ahead of the polls. The 70-member Delhi Assembly will go to polls on February 5, and the results will be out on February 8.
Political Landscape Ahead of Elections
As the election date approaches, all parties are ramping up their campaigns to secure a victory in this crucial assembly election. With over 1.55 crore registered voters in Delhi, parties are focusing on mobilizing support among constituents.
The AAP is emphasizing its achievements in education and healthcare, while the BJP is focusing on allegations against AAP leaders. This election is critical for all parties involved, as it will determine control over Delhi's legislative assembly for the next term.
