“It is, most humbly requested from you to kindly consider the objection and the evidence in support of our objections and reject the nomination of Arvind Kejriwal, candidate of Aam Aadmi Party as the above-mentioned defects are substantial defects,” he said in his letter.
The New Delhi Assembly seat will see a triangular contest between Kejriwal, BJP’s Parvesh Verma and Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit.
Arvind Kejriwal hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday, claiming that the latter has ‘openly accepted’ that the AAP government is running various welfare schemes for the people.
“BJP has openly accepted that Kejriwal is running many welfare schemes in Delhi which are benefiting the families of BJP members also,” he said on X.
