Delhi is preparing for the highly awaited Assembly Elections 2025. Polling across all 70 Assembly constituencies is set for February 5, with vote counting slated for February 8.
With 15 million registered voters, the political contest is heating up among the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress.
On Sunday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate for the Jangpura Assembly seat, Manish Sisodia, expressed strong confidence in the party's victory in the upcoming Delhi elections. Sisodia added that even the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) acknowledged that Arvind Kejriwal would be securing a second term in power.
"Everyone including the BJP believes that Kejriwal will be returning to power. It is the work of the Aam Aadmi Party that people are coming to see. BJP only knows how to curse people," Sisodia said, as quoted by news agency ANI.

Delhi Assembly polls: Delhi HC denies urgent hearing to plea against freebies
The Delhi High Court on Monday declined to provide an urgent hearing for a petition that accused political parties of breaching election laws ahead of the Assembly elections in the capital.
A Bench led by Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela stated that the case would be considered as per the usual schedule once it is listed.
The petitioner's lawyer requested the matter to be heard at 2 pm.
The court responded, "Why 2 pm? You are challenging the actions of political parties regarding the announcement of freebies. Tomorrow is the last day for electioneering, or maybe even today. The impact of these freebies has already occurred."
It further clarified, "It will be listed according to the standing order. We are not making any comments on the merit of the case."
