Delhi Assembly Elections LIVE: Sonia Gandhi, Rahul & Sidhu Among Cong's 40 Star Campaigners

Delhi Assembly Elections LIVE: A day after he filed his nomination from the New Delhi constituency after a long wait, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will hold roadshows in the National Capital.

Kejriwal filed his nomination on Tuesday after waiting for more than six hours. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held the BJP responsible for the delay, a charge dismissed as “drama” by the saffron party. Kejriwal, who was scheduled to file his papers on Monday, could not do so after he was delayed due to his own roadshow. Tuesday was the last day of filing of nominations for the February 8 Assembly polls, the results of which will be declared on February 11.

Accompanied by his family members, including parents and senior party leaders, Kejriwal reached the office of the Returning Officer (RO) 12.30 pm. After six hours and 20 minutes, he filed his nomination from the New Delhi constituency, which he won in 2015 by a margin of over 27,000 votes.

While waiting for his turn, Kejriwal said in a tweet, “My token no. is 45. There are many people here to file nomination papers. Am so glad so many people participating in democracy.”
