Delhi Elections 2025 LIVE: The national capital will go to the polls on February 5 and the counting of votes will take place on February 8. A three-way contest is on the cards in Delhi between the ruling AAP, BJP, and Congress.

Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seat. The AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got eight seats.

As the election campaign is progressing with each passing day in the run-up to the Assembly polls, all political parties are stepping up their attack on each other. On Thursday, UP CM Yogi Adityanath entered Delhi's poll battle with his first rally in the Janakpuri Assembly constituency. During the poll rally, CM Yogi accused Kejriwal's AAP government of 'instigating riots' in 2020 in the national capital with the help of 'Bangladeshi infiltrators'.

"With the help of Bangladeshi infiltrators, their (AAP) councillors and officials together instigated riots in 2020. They created chaos and hooliganism in Shaheen Bagh. Today if you look at the states where the double-engine government of the Bharatiya Janata Party is in power, you will find a clean environment there. Form a double-engine government in Delhi and get basic amenities and move towards making Delhi Indraprastha again," CM Yogi said.

Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal hit back at Adityanath's criticism of the Delhi government over the law and order situation, and said the law and order of the national capital comes under the Union Home Ministry and the former should guide Home Minister Amit Shah regarding how to mend it.

Speaking on the law and order situation in the national capital, the former Delhi CM said that "11 gangsters" have captured the entire Delhi. Attacking Amit Shah, further, Kejriwal said the Home Minister is busy "toppling governments" and "poaching MLAs".

Speaking to the media, Kejriwal said, "Yogi ji came to Delhi today. He too raised questions on the law and order in Delhi. He said that he mended the law and order in UP. I agree with Yogi ji that Delhi's law and order is very bad.11 gangsters have captured the entire Delhi. Yogi Ji said that he wiped out gangsters in UP. But in Delhi, gangsters are roaming around freely. Firing is taking place on streets. Women can't step out of their houses."

"I would like to tell Yogi ji that the law and order in Delhi come under Amit Shah. He should sit down with Amit Shah and guide him, explain to him how law and order has to be mended. Amit Shah is busy toppling governments and poaching MLAs," he added.

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh came out heavily at the Bharatiya Janata Party, saying that no matter how hard Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath try, the BJP will be "wiped out" in the upcoming Delhi assembly elections. Speaking to ANI, Sanjay Singh said, "No matter how hard UP CM Yogi Adityanath, PM Modi try or they could even call US President Donald Trump to campaign, BJP will be wiped out in the Delhi elections."

AAP MP Sanjay Singh questioned the Election Commission's ability to ensure fair elections, saying if it can't stop BJP candidates from distributing goods in the New Delhi assembly constituency, how can it ensure fair elections across the country.

"Sometimes the BJP candidate distributes 'chadar', 'lota', 'chashma', shoes and money openly. The office of the Election Commission of India is in the New Delhi assembly constituency. When the Election Commission of India is not able to stop the discrepancies (happening in the New Delhi assembly constituency) how will it ensure fair elections in the nation?," the AAP leader said.
