“Under the guidance of Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi ji, the BJP government has been continuously working towards the comprehensive development of Delhi and will further our efforts to turn the dream of a ‘Viksit Delhi’ into a reality,” Nadda further said in the post.
Earlier in the day, the ECI announced the schedule for the Delhi Assembly elections. The national capital will have a single-phase polling on February 5 and the counting on February 8.
The term of the 70-member Assembly ends on February 23, and elections have to be held before that to constitute a new House. The national capital has traditionally seen Assembly polls in a single phase.
The Assembly polls in the national capital will witness a three-cornered fight between the ruling AAP, and opposition BJP and Congress.
In the 2020 Assembly polls, the AAP won 62 Assembly seats and BJP won eight constituencies, while in 2015 polls, AAP bagged 67 seats and BJP won only three seats.The Congress drew a blank on both these occasions.
