New Delhi: Delhi will vote on Saturday in a keenly fought election with the BJP and the AAP vying for power and an also-ran Congress desperate to make a mark.
Although the election is only to pick a new city government, it has become a high-profile battle, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi coming out vocally against the AAP and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
With pre-poll surveys indicating a tough fight, the BJP has said the election outcome won’t be a referendum on Modi. Any reverses for the BJP could have ramifications nationally.
A total of 673 candidates are in the fray for the 70-member assembly. IANS)
