While the Election Commission has yet to announce the poll schedule, the political parties have begun aggressively campaigning to woo voters. While the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to retain power, the main opposition comes from the Congress and the new entrant AAP trying to dislodge the present dispensation.
Will voters stay with the ruling party BJP or are they looking for a change this time around?
