The Kalkaji assembly constituency is set to be one of the most closely watched in Delhi.

Atishi is up against BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress party's Alka Lamba from the constituency. Earlier on Monday, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal along with Chief Minister Atishi held a roadshow in the Kalkaji assembly constituency on the last day of campaigning for assembly polls and claimed that the AAP will win 55 seats out of from 70 constituencies. The voting for assembly elections in Delhi will be held on Wednesday and results will announced on Saturday.

"I have visited the entire Delhi. I think that we are going to win 55 seats. But if mothers and sisters push hard, we can win up to 60 seats," Kejriwal told reporters during his campaign.

He further said that AAP will win by a historic margin in New Delhi, Jangpura, and Kalkaji from where Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Atishi are contesting the assembly polls respectively. Kejriwal accused the BJP of planning a conspiracy ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. As the assembly elections inch closer, the poll battle in the national capital has also intensified, with the three parties--AAP, BJP, and Congress--levelling allegations against each other.

Delhi will go for polls in a single phase on February 5, while the counting of votes will take place on February 8. The Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seat. In contrast, the AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got only eight seats.
