The BJP on Thursday named nine more candidates for the elections to the 70-member Delhi assembly, fielding Shikha Rai and Anil Vashishth against from Greater Kailash and Babarpur, respectively.<\/p>\n
While Shikha Rai is pitted against Delhi minister and AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, Vashishth will battle it out against Gopal Rai, also a minister in the AAP government.<\/p>\n
With the latest list, the BJP has named its 68 candidates.<\/p>\n
Soon after the BJP released its fourth list, its ally JU(U) named Shailendra Kumar its candidate from the Burari constituency.<\/p>\n
The BJP is pulling out all the stops to end the Aam Aadmi Party’s 10-year-long reign in the national capital in the elections scheduled for February 5. The counting of votes is due on February 8.<\/p>\n
