Sources in the party claimed that the candidates were changed based on the ground reports from Narela and Hari Nagar seats, according to news agency PTI. 

Delhi goes to polls on February 5 and the results will be announced on February 8. The AAP, which won 62 of the 70 seats in Delhi in the 2020 elections, is eyeing a third consecutive full term.
