Controversial Uttam Nagar legislator Naresh Balyan, arrested in an alleged extortion case, has been replaced by his wife Pooja Naresh Balyan. The AAP has also reposed faith in Mehrauli legislator Naresh Yadav, who was attacked by the Opposition parties after his conviction in a Quran sacrilege case in Punjab. Okhla legislator Amanatullah Khan, who was involved in an alleged case related to Waqf Board irregularities, has also been fielded again.
In the 2020 election, the AAP had secured 62 of the 70 seats in Delhi, solidifying its dominance in the capital’s politics. The upcoming polls are expected to be a litmus test for the party’s governance model and its appeal to the electorate. The Delhi Assembly polls are expected to be held in February next year.
