The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has released its second list of 20 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, with senior party leader Manish Sisodia named as the candidate for the Jangpura constituency. The announcement comes as part of AAP's ongoing preparations for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, with the party aiming to secure a landslide victory.

In this list, Sisodia, who has represented Jangpura in the Delhi Assembly previously, will contest once again, underscoring his significant role in the party. His candidacy comes at a crucial time, with the Delhi elections becoming a three-way contest between the AAP, BJP, and Congress.

Key Candidates in AAP's Second List

Apart from Sisodia, the list includes several other important names who will contest from different constituencies. Avadh Ojha, an educator who recently joined the AAP, has been fielded from Patparganj, which is currently represented by Sisodia. This move marks a significant shift, with Ojha replacing Sisodia in this constituency.

The Shahdara seat will see Jintender Singh Shunty, a former BJP member, now representing AAP. He replaces Ram Niwas Goel, the sitting AAP MLA and Speaker of the outgoing Assembly. Another notable inclusion is Surinder Pal Singh Bittu, who joins the party after quitting the BJP and will contest from Timarpur.

Here is the full list of candidates named by AAP for the Delhi Assembly elections:

1. Narela - Dinesh Bharadwaj
2. Timarpur - Surender Pal Singh Bittu
3. Adarsh Nagar - Mukesh Goel
4. Mundka - Jasbir Karala
5. Mangolpuri - Rakesh Jatav Dharamrakshak
6. Rohini - Pradeep Mittal
7. Chandni Chowk - Punardeep Singh Sawhney
8. Patel Nagar - Parvesh Ratan
9. Mandipur - Rakhi Bidlan
10. Janakpuri - Pravin Kumar
11. Bijwasan - Surender Bharadwaj
12. Palam - Jogindar Solanki

17. Krishna Nagar - Vikas Bagga
18. Gandhi Nagar - Naveen Choudhary (Deepu)
19. Shahdara - Padamshri Jitender Singh Shunty
20. Mustafabad - Adil Ahmad Khan

These candidates include a mix of seasoned party leaders and fresh faces who have recently joined AAP. Notably, the inclusion of BJP defectors like Shunty and Bittu shows the party's strategy of capitalizing on the dissatisfaction within the BJP ranks.

The Political Landscape of the Delhi Elections

The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections are poised to be a highly competitive battle, with the AAP, BJP, and Congress vying for control of the 70-member assembly. While the AAP has consistently held a strong grip on the Delhi government, it faces challenges from the BJP and Congress, who are determined to mount a serious challenge.

Notably, Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has already expressed confidence that AAP is set to win an overwhelming majority in the upcoming elections. He has framed the battle as a moral struggle against the BJP, underscoring the importance of AAP's governance model in delivering welfare schemes like free electricity and education in the capital.

The Election Strategy

AAP's decision to field new faces alongside incumbents is part of its strategy to address both local issues and broader concerns. With candidates like Sisodia, Ojha, and Shunty, the party aims to appeal to a diverse electorate, including educators, businesspeople, and those disillusioned with the BJP's governance.

The Delhi elections will also be marked by the Congress’s separate contest, despite being part of the INDIA alliance at the national level. The Congress and AAP had initially planned to contest together but have since decided to fight the elections individually, making it a three-way contest.

The electoral battle is set to intensify as all three parties gear up for a tough race, with their focus on issues like governance, development, public services, and security.
