Kejriwal's Video Message:
The elections for 70-member Delhi Assembly are scheduled to take place on February 5 and votes will be counted on February 8. Delhi will witness a fierce competition between the AAP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Kejriwal-led party will be eying third term, while the BJP is trying its best to dethrone the AAP. The Congress, which failed to open its account in the previous two assembly polls, will be hoping to increase its vote share.
