The Aam Admi Party released its fourth and final candidates list for the Delhi Assembly election on Sunday. Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will contest from New Delhi and Chief Minister Atishi has been fielded in Kalkaji.
The party announced the names for 38 seats on Sunday; it had announced names for 32 seats earlier. Elections for the 70-seat assembly are due in February. As per the list, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj will contest from Greater Kailash, Minister Gopal Rai from Babarpur, former minister Satyendra Kumar Jain from Shakur Basti, Durgesh Pathak from Rajinder Nagar, Ramesh Pehalwan from Kasturba Nagar, Raghuvinder Shokeen from Nangloi Jat, Som Dutt from Sadar Bazar, Imran Hussain from Ballimaran and Jarnail Singh from Tilak Nagar.
The party has fielded Posh Balyan, wife of MLA Naresh Balyan, who has been arrested on charges of extortion, to contest in Uttam Nagar. With the release of the fourth list, the party has announced candidates for all 70 seats in Delhi.
The AAP had earlier announced that it would contest Delhi polls alone and not as part of the INDIA bloc. In the previous assembly election, the party won 62 seats.
AAP leader Kejriwal said the party is contesting the election with full confidence and full preparation. Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party, Kejriwal said the ruling party in Centre has only one goal – “Remove Kejriwal”. The former Delhi CM said the BJP is “missing”.

“BJP is missing. They have no CM face, no team, no planning and no vision for Delhi. They have only one slogan, only one policy and only one mission - “Remove Kejriwal”. Ask them what they did in 5 years, and they reply - ‘Kejriwal ko bahub gaali di’,” Kejriwal tweeted sharing the candidates' list.
The AAP convener said the party has a vision for the development of Delhi and a good educated team to implement it. Kejriwal claimed the party has a long list of work it has done in 10 years and said, “People of Delhi will vote for those who work, not those who abuse.”
