Delhi Election News: BJP candidate Parvesh Verma filed his nomination from the New Delhi seat, where he will face former CM Arvind Kejriwal and Congress's Sandeep Dixit in the February 5 Delhi elections. Verma first offered prayers at the historic Gauri Shankar Temple in Chandni Chowk and Valmiki Temple.
"I have come here to take blessings before filing nominations. I hope I can work for the people of the New Delhi assembly constitution. Arvind Kejriwal is going to lose and BJP is going to form its government on 8th February and this is why he has lost his calm," Verma said.
The district election officer of the New Delhi constituency has asked the police to look into complaints of violations of the model code of conduct filed by AAP and its convener Arvind Kejriwal against BJP candidate Parvesh Verma.
