Delhi Elections: BJP Releases Fourth List, Shikha Rai to Contest from Greater Kailash

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday released its fourth list of nine candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections 2025. Among the prominent names is Shikha Rai, who will contest from the Greater Kailash constituency. Kapil Mishra and Harish Khurana, son of former Delhi Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana, have also been fielded. Harish Khurana will contest from the Moti Nagar seat.

The BJP has announced women candidates such as Deepti Indora, Urmila Kailash Gangwar, Shweta Saini, Priyanka Gautam, Neelam Pahalwan, Poonam Sharma, and Shikha Rai, reflecting a balanced approach to its ticket distribution.

In addition, the party released a list of 40 star campaigners on Wednesday, which includes high-profile leaders such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President JP Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Home Minister Amit Shah. Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, and Smriti Irani, along with popular campaigners like Hema Malini, Manoj Tiwari, Ravi Kishan, and Dinesh Lal Yadav "Nirahua," have also been included.

The BJP aims to end its 26-year-long wait for power in the national capital, while the Congress is striving for a political comeback after being wiped out in the last two elections. Campaign agendas are centered around issues such as governance, education, law and order, and freebies.

The battle for Delhi is heating up as the election results are set to be announced on February 8.
