New Delhi: Atishi, the chief minister of Delhi and an AAP candidate, encouraged people to vote in the national capital’s ongoing assembly elections on Wednesday.

Atishi said in a post on X that the Delhi poll is a “Dharam Yuddh” rather than just an election.
“Today’s election in Delhi is a Dharam Yuddh (religious conflict), not simply an election. The forces of good and evil are at war here. The struggle is between hooliganism and work. Voting is something I urge everyone in Delhi to do. Vote for kindness, vote for labor. “Truth will win out,” she said.

Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the AAP, also urged voters to turn out in force.
“Today is election day, Delhi residents. Voting is more than simply pressing a button; it is the cornerstone of a prosperous future for your kids. It is a chance to provide every family a decent life, first-rate hospitals, and good schools. Today, truth, progress, and honesty must triumph over the politics of lies, hate, and terror. “Stand up for yourself and encourage your loved ones, friends, and neighbors,” Kejriwal said.

Voters cast votes for the 8th Assembly in Delhi under strict security as polling for 70 assembly seats got underway Wednesday morning. According to authorities, voting will start at 7:00 am and go until 6:00 pm.
The seats of Jangpura and New Delhi are hotly fought. The AAP, which now controls almost 60 of the assembly’s 70 members, is running for reelection on the strength of its past performance.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal (AAP), Parvesh Verma of the BJP, and Sandeep Dikshit of the Congress (son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit) are in a high-profile three-way race for the New Delhi seat.

Manish Sisodia of the AAP, Farhad Suri of the Congress, and Tarvinder Singh Marwah of the BJP will compete in Jangpura.

For the 70 assembly constituency seats in the nation’s capital, 699 individuals are running for office.
83,76,173 men, 72,36,560 women, and 1,267 third-gender voters make up Delhi’s 1,56,14,000 registered voters. Additionally, 239,905 first-time voters between the ages of 18 and 19, 109,368 senior citizens 85 and older, and 79,885 people with impairments make up the electorate.
