Delhi Elections: Alka Lamba Files Nomination From Kalkaji Seat

Lamba will take on Delhi CM and AAP candidate Atishi and BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri in the seat. Atishi also filed her nomination today.

Delhi Elections: Congress leader Alka Lamba filed her nomination for the February 5 Delhi elections from the Kalkaji seat on Tuesday. The president of the All India Mahila Congress is a former Aam Aadmi Party leader and an ex-legislator from Chandni Chowk.

Lamba returned to the Congress in 2019 after resigning from AAP, citing disrespect within the party. After she was fielded on the seat, Lamba launched a sharp attack on Atishi. She had said, "Arvind Kejriwal insulted Chief Minister Atishi by calling her a 'temporary CM.' The moment she was labelled as such, the contest ended. Her journey is only a month long."

Lamba will take on Delhi CM and AAP candidate Atishi and BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri in the seat. Atishi also filed her nomination today. Atishi was scheduled to file her nomination for the Delhi elections on Monday but she postponed the plan and accompanied AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal for a meeting with Election Commission officials.

Congress has also fielded Sandeep Dikshit, a former Lok Sabha member and the son of three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, against AAP's Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat. Kejriwal, the AAP convenor, has been representing the New Delhi constituency since 2013 and is seeking a fourth term.

The Delhi Assembly Election 2025 will be held in a single phase on February 5 and the results will be announced on February 8. The contest is expected to be a three-corner fight between the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and the Aam Aadmi Party.
