'Talking about India, the Aam Aadmi Party, which is busy preparing for the Vidhan Sabha elections to be held in February next year, has released its second list of candidates today. This list contains names of 20 candidates. In the list released earlier, names of 11 candidates were announced, that is, in total the Karmi Party has announced the names of its candidates on 71 seats out of 70 Vidhan Sabhas in Delhi. We have done an in-depth analysis of the Aam Aadmi Party candidate list for the viewers of ABP News, in which many shocking information has come to light. The names of the candidates for the 20 seats announced today, the party had won 19 of those seats in 2020. The party has cut the tickets of 16 out of 19 sitting MLAs this time. No sitting MLA has been fielded on his old seat. Also, the seats of veteran leaders like Manish Sisodia and Rakhi Birlan have also been changed. The Aam Aadmi Party has fielded new faces in the two seats on which BJP had won in the 2020 elections. Krishnanagar and Chandni Chowk are two such seats from where the party has given tickets to the sons of sitting MLAs. If we look at both the lists together, the Aam Aadmi Party has cut the tickets of 21 out of 31 sitting MLAs. Many shocking decisions were seen in the Aam Aadmi Party list and some shocking faces were also seen. So let's look at the Aam Aadmi Party list one by one. Let us decode it and also present the story behind the changes. Among the 20 candidates in the second list, the names of former Deputy CM and Education Minister Sisodia, Aavat Ojha and Rakhi Billan are being discussed the most. There is also a ruckus over Dilip Pandey's ticket being cut. Let us start with Mani Sisodia, whose seat has been changed this time. Mani Sisodia, three-time MLA from Patpatganj seat of East Delhi, has now made Awa Dojha ji the candidate from Jangpur in South Delhi and the responsibility that the party has given him in front of the party, this time he will contest the election from Jangpura assembly constituency. The argument that Gopal Rai is giving will not be easily digested by any person who understands politics. Why would a leader who has won the MLA seat thrice, leave his seat for a novice leader? If this question is in your mind too, then you are thinking right. So let us tell you the inside story of the exchange of seats. In the 2013 assembly elections, Manish Sisodia defeated BJP's Nakul Bharat, who was the BJP candidate, by 11476 votes. In the 2015 elections, he defeated BJP's Vinod Kumar Binni by 28761 votes, but in the 2020 elections, Sisodia won with great difficulty against BJP's Ravindra Singh Negi and the difference is only 10%. He has 3207 votes. It is said that after the name of Sharab Ghotala mama came out, BJP can make the issue of corruption against Manish Sesodia and bring him home. From the same sources, there is news that in the internal survey conducted by the party on Patparganj seat, this seat was not found suitable for Sisodia. Instead of Manish Sisodia, Aam Aadmi Party has made UPSC candidate and motivational speaker Aavad Oja as its candidate from Patparganj seat. The party is hopeful that the Aavadoja middle class voters who joined Aam Aadmi Party two weeks ago will get support from them. The party says that Kisodia left his seat to appease the people, if Manish Sisodiya is having to change his seat like a fugitive after fleeing the UP chief, then I have a full message to the workers of the party and the public as well that we did not serve you people, we only worked to loot you, the people of the party who take decisions sitting with Arvind Kejriwal, give us your information about BJP from that then we will ask you questions. Despite all the efforts, his attempt was to leave the party and run away, his attempt was to leave the party with Arvind Kejriwal and run away, he fought for 17 months, but I will not leave, I am not the one to run away, I will defeat him in Jangpura, I will defeat him in Patparganj, I will defeat him in Puri. After Manish Sisodia and Aboja, the leader of Am Aadmi Party who is most discussed is Dilip Pandey. In 2013, when Anna Andolan started, Dileep Pandey left his job as a software engineer abroad and ran away. After joining Aam Aadmi Party, he has been a part of Arvind Kejriwal's core team. In the 2020 assembly elections, the party fielded him from Temarpur seat, when he voted for BJP's Surendra Pal Singh Bittu by more than 24,000 votes, but in five years all the political alliances have changed. Dilip Pandey's name is out of Aam Aadmi Party's list and the same Bittu who defeated Surendra Pal Singh Bittu to become MLA this time. He is going to contest elections from Timarpur on a Aam Aadmi Party ticket. What happened that Aam Aadmi Party had to cut the ticket of a powerful leader like Dilip Pandey? There are many factors behind this too. Actually, Dileep Pandey is an MLA from Timarpur seat, old Rajendra Nagar also comes under his jurisdiction and on 27th July, three students preparing for UPSC in this old Rajendra Nagar died after drowning in the basement of the coaching centre. Mukharji Nagar is also famous for UPSC coaching in Timarpur.'
