Days after releasing its final list of candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) two former MLAs, Asim Ahmad Khan and Colonel Devendra Sehrawat, joined Congress on Monday, intensifying political competition in the national capital.
Asim Ahmad Khan, a former minister in Arvind Kejriwal’s 2015 government, represented the Matia Mahal constituency from 2015 to 2020. He was removed from the cabinet following allegations of corruption based on a viral audio clip.
Colonel Devendra Sehrawat, another ex-AAP leader, served as the MLA for Bijwasan and was previously fielded as an AAP candidate for Parliament.
Meanwhile, AAP has finalised its lineup for the Delhi polls, releasing its fourth and final list of 38 candidates on Sunday (December 15). Chief Minister Atishi will contest again from Kalkaji, while party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will run in the New Delhi constituency. Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj will represent Greater Kailash.
In a notable change, AAP has replaced its current Kasturba Nagar MLA, Madan Lal, with Ramesh Pehlwan. Pehlwan, along with his wife, councillor Kusum Lata, joined AAP earlier on Monday after leaving the BJP.
