The three major contenders, the Aam Aadmi Party, the BJP and the Congress have already donned the war paint as they gear up for an electoral confrontation early next year for the crucial Delhi Assembly elections.

Arvind Kejirwal who had created history by winning the contest the last two times in an overwhelming manner, is hopeful of scoring a hattrick this time and if all goes well, he could seal his place as amongst the most influential leaders of the city. However, the journey to the third victory is never going to be easy. The Muslim votes have already shifted towards the Congress as the community by and large appears convinced that the AAP was the ₹₹B’’ team of the RSS and thus it would never support them at crucial times. The AAP has been trying for a Dalit outreach, if the recent announcements by Kejriwal have to go by, and in case this section also moves away, the AAP shall be in serious trouble.
