New Delhi:
Aam Aadmi party chief Arvind Kejriwal will file his nomination today from New Delhi Assembly constituency to fight against Delhi's three time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the upcoming state elections.
Mr Kejriwal, the party's chief ministerial candidate, is contesting for his own election to Delhi Vidhan Sabha - from Gole Market constituency, now known as New Delhi.
He has by choice pitted himself against Ms Dikshit who has been representing the New Delhi constituency since 1998. The BJP has entered the fray by nominating Vijender Gupta, a former Delhi unit party chief who steadily rose in the party ranks after first getting elected to the Delhi University Students Union.
The contest in Gole Market should be the most interesting to understand the prospects of the AAP, unless Mr Kejriwal springs a surprise and files his nomination from some other constituency or from more than one constituency.
A total of 89 candidates had filed their nominations till Wednesday after the process started on November 9. November 16 is the last date for filing nominations.
