Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari
The BJP has tied up with the LJP and the JD(U) for Delhi assembly polls and has left three seats for the NDA partners after its alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal fell through.
Trying to repeat its Lok Sabha election performance in which the BJP swept all seven seats in Delhi, the saffron party has pulled out all stops including extending its Bihar alliance to the national capital.
The BJP has tied up with the Lok Janshakti Party and the Janata Dal (United) for Delhi assembly polls and has left three seats for the NDA partners after its alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal fell through.
Out of 70 seats in Delhi, the BJP is contesting 67 seats while the JD(U) and the LJP have fielded candidates on two and three constituencies, respectively.
Among the notable names revealed in this list are BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, contesting from the Hari Nagar constituency, and Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) president Sunil Yadav, contesting the New Delhi seat against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
In its first list, the BJP had announced candidates, including four women. The party has fielded six women candidates out of 67 seats.
Former AAP legislator Kapil Mishra, who quit the party after being sacked as a minister and subsequently levelled corruption allegations against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, will contest from Model Town. He had won the 2015 assembly elections on an AAP ticket from Karawal Nagar seat.
Vijender Gupta, one of the three BJP candidates who had won the 2015 election, will contest from his current seat Rohini.
The BJP has also given tickets to three Congress turncoats - Sanjay Singh, Surendra Singh Bittu and SC Vats.

The ruling AAP is locked in a triangular contest with the BJP and the Congress but is favourite to retain the Union Territory.
The Kejriwal-led AAP had won 67 seats in the 70-member assembly in 2015 assembly elections, defying all expectations. While the party hopes to repeat its performance.
The BJP could only win three seats out of 70 it contested.
