Surrounded by scores of supporters, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took out a roadshow in northwest Delhi''s Matiala Assembly constituency on Thursday. Mr Kejriwal, atop an open yellow coloured jeep, waved to the public and shook hands with them as his roadshow moved through the narrow lanes of the Matiala Assembly. He was accompanied by Matiala MLA Gulab Singh Yadav.
The chief minister will later visit Kalkaji and Tugalaqabad to campaign for his party.
Meanwhile, the BJP will begin its campaign in full steam with former party president and Union Home minister Amit Shah holding public meetings and a "padyatra" in the city later in the day. Mr Shah, who plans to raise national issues such as the Citizenship Amendment Act, will address two meetings in Matiala and Nangloi Jat assembly constituencies. He will then lead a padyatra in Uttam Nagar in the evening, said a Delhi BJP statement.
Voting for Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 8 and results will be out on February 11. BJP is contesting on 67 seats and has left two seats to JD(U) and one for LJP, its alliance partners in Delhi Assembly polls.
