Assemble elections will be held in Delhi on February 7 and
counting will be done on 10th of the same month, the Election Commission chief
VS Sampath has informed the media today.
He further said that the model code of conduct for all the
70 seats comes into existence with immediate effect.
This election is being seen as a bilateral fight to get to
supremacy in the country capital between a resurgent BJP, which has recently won
four states back-to-back, and AAP, which is banking on the charisma of Arvind
Kejriwal.
In 2013 elections no single party could garner a clear-cut
majority. BJP, though, emerged as the single largest party, but it could not
form a government. AAP, which came second with 28 seats, formed a government
with the help of Congress; Arvind Kejriwal became the seventh CM. But Kejriwal
resigned after 49 days of becoming the CM following the failure to get the Jan
Lokpal Bill passed. President's rule was imposed in Delhi in February 2014.
Experts are of the opinion that Congress is no where in the competition in Delhi.
