New Delhi: The NCP ( Ajit Pawar faction) on Friday released a list of 30 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections due in February.
Pawar's party has decided to go solo in the polls and will not be contesting the polls in alliance with its Mahayuti ally BJP.
While the party fielded Vishvanath Agarwal from New Delhi against AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal , it pitted Zameel from the Kalkaji constituency against sitting CM Atishi.
Danish Ali will be contesting from Krishna Nagar, Namaha from Laxmi Nagar and Rajesh Lohiya from Seemapuri.
Delhi Assembly elections are slated for February 5 and votes will be counted on February 8.
A three-way contest is on the cards in Delhi with leaders of AAP, BJP and Congress making attacks against each other.
Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and failed to win any seat.
AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got eight seats. (with inputs from ANI)
