Delhi Assembly Election 2020 Date: Election Commission to announce poll schedule at 3.30 pm today

The Election
Commission will announce the poll schedule for Delhi at 3,30 pm on Monday. The
commission has called for a press conference at 3.30 pm to announce the
election schedule. The term of the 70-member Delhi Assembly is ending on 22
February and a new House has to be constituted before that.

Three
parties that are in the queue these elections are the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam
Aadmi Party, Bharatiya Janata Party, and the Indian National Congress. Delhi
chief minister Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP faces a triangular fight with the BJP
and Congress.

The BJP is
riding high on the Narendra Modi government’s achievements at the Centre, while
AAP is confident of sailing through in the elections on the back of work done
by the Delhi government in education and health.

The
Congress, which ruled the state for 15 years, before being ousted by AAP, is
likely to announce its candidate list on 10 January.
