New Delhi: AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will file his nomination papers for the upcoming polls from the New Delhi Assembly constituency on Wednesday, party leaders said.

Kejriwal, who will be accompanied by women supporters, will file his nomination papers after offering prayers at Hanuman temple and Valmiki Mandir in the New Delhi area, they said.

Kejriwal holding the New Delhi seat since 2013 is pitted against BJP’s Parvesh Verma and Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit this time.

“Before filing nomination, I will go to Valmiki Temple and Hanuman Temple to seek the Lord’s blessings,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal will contest the Delhi Assembly Election 2025 against BJP’s Parvesh Verma and Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit from the New Delhi seat.

Kejriwal has been holding the New Delhi seat since 2013.

Voting for the 70-member Delhi Assembly is scheduled to be held on February 5 and the counting of votes will be taken up on February 8.

As the polling date nears, the AAP and the BJP have started targeting each other. On Tuesday, AAP chief Arvind Kejrial claimed that the Delhi Assembly Elections would uncover the long-standing alliance between the Congress and the BJP, describing it as a “jugalbandi.”
