Aam Aadmi Party has released the first list of candidates for Delhi Assembly elections. Kejriwal has announced the names of 11 candidates while gaining psychological edge over BJP and Congress. BJP and Congress are also keeping an eye on this list. By releasing the list of candidates, Kejriwal has also announced that he does not need Congress in the Delhi Assembly elections and he is ready to contest this election alone. Kejriwal’s second message to BJP is that even though BJP calls itself an election winning machine, when it comes to Delhi, Kejriwal will make the first move.
There are 11 candidates in this list of AAP, out of which there are 6 candidates who have been either part of BJP or members of Congress in history. In this matter, Arvind Kejriwal has taken care of both BJP and Congress and has given the broom to three leaders each who were part of both the parties in the elections.
Kejriwal made former BJP leader his candidate
Brahm Singh Tanwar, Bibi Tyagi and Anil Jha, who left BJP and came with Kejriwal’s broom, are now candidates of Aam Aadmi Party. Brahm Singh Tanwar was a big face of BJP in South Delhi and Delhi Dehat, who was MLA three times. But after coming together with Kejriwal, he is the Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Chhatarpur. At the same time, AAP has made BB Tyagi, former mayor of East Delhi Municipal Corporation, its candidate from Laxminagar assembly seat, who had lost the assembly elections from Laxminagar while being in BJP. Anil Jha has been a two-time MLA from Kirari on BJP ticket. This time his seat is the same old but the party is now Aam Aadmi Party.
Congress leaders also became your own
Three prominent leaders of Congress are now part of Aam Aadmi Party, whom Arvind Kejriwal has made his candidate in the Delhi Assembly elections. The first name among these is that of Zubair Chaudhary, who is contesting from Seelampur seat.

Sumesh Shaukeen, who was a Congress leader, was a two-time MLA from Delhi Dehat and now he is contesting the elections from Matiala on the broom symbol. Another strong leader of Congress has been Veer Singh Dhingan, who has been MLA from Seemapuri three times. And now he has joined AAP and is again contesting elections from Seemapuri.
