The ruling AAP has already geared up for the polls as it has launched a series of Town Halls in which it has given the report of its five years of work in the national capital.

Meanwhile, the opposition BJP which is ruling in centre and is fenced with the criticism after the introduction of amended Citizenship Act, has also initiated its campaign. On Sunday, the BJP working President and Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a conference attended by thousands of its workers and leaders of BJP Delhi unit.

In the last Assembly election in 2015, AAP swept 67 out of 70 seats and BJP managed to bag 3 seats only, while ruling Congress was left with no seat in the Assembly.
