In a significant political development, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has unveiled its first list of candidates for the highly anticipated 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. The list features 11 contenders, including prominent turncoats from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC). By fielding former members of rival parties, AAP signals a calculated move to strengthen its electoral footing across key constituencies.
Among the notable figures, former BJP stalwarts Brahm Singh Tanwar, Anil Jha, and BB Tyagi, along with ex-Congress leaders Chaudhry Zubair Ahmad, Veer Singh Dhingan, and Sumesh Shokeen, have been granted tickets to contest. This strategic induction of experienced political figures showcases AAP’s intent to widen its appeal and capture a broader voter base.
