The Delhi assembly polls will be held in a single phase on February 5 and the counting of votes will take place on February 8.

"I have filed the nomination. I would like to tell the people of Delhi that please vote for work, on one side there is a party that works and on the other side, there is a party that abuses... So vote for work, education, health, electricity, water, roads, vote for these things.

A lot of work has been done. There is still a lot of work left to be done, so I hope that people will vote for hard work. They (BJP) have neither a CM, nor vision, narrative..." said AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
