Once Arch Rivals, Congress And AAP Join Forces Against BJP In Delhi In Phase 6

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Polling will be held on all the seven seats in Delhi with Congress and AAP set to join forces against BJP.

An interesting fight is set to begin in Delhi as the national capital will vote on Saturday with I.N.D.I.A bloc allies, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party — once arch rivals — joining forces against the Bharatiya Janata Party. All the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi are among the 58 constituencies going to polls across 8 states and Union Territories. 

Simultaneous polling will also be held on 42 assembly contituencies on Odisha. 

In the national capital, 162 candidates are in the fray for the penultimate phase of the Lok Sabha polls across the seven constituencies: Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, East Delhi, West Delhi, North West Delhi, North East Delhi, and South East Delhi.

While the BJP has fielded candidates on all seven seats, I.N.D.I.A bloc will contest the polls under a seat sharing arrangement with Congress contesting on three seats while AAP will enter the fray from four seats.

To ensure peaceful, free and fair polling, the Delhi police has made robust security arrangements in the city deploying over 60,000 personnel on the ground. A strict vigil is also being kept in areas bordering Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, the police said. 

As many as 51 companies of paramilitary forces and 13,500 home guards from Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have been deployed to strengthen the security apparatus, besides drones and CCTV cameras. 

"Around 60,000 police personnel have been deployed in Delhi and at least 33,000 of them are guarding voting centres. There are 2,628 voting centres, of which 429 are 'sensitive'. Extra paramilitary personnel with drones and CCTV cameras have been deployed in these sensitive poll centres,"Deputy Commissioner of Police (Election Cell) Sanjay Sehrawat told PTI.
