In the Jangpura and Kasturba Nagar constituencies, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has nominated Manish Sisodia and Ramesh Pehalwan, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is fielding former Congress leaders Tarwinder Singh Marwah and Niraj Basoya. The Congress has also entered the race with candidates Farhad Suri and Abhishek Dutt, making the competition more intense. Voter sentiment appears mixed, with some expressing dissatisfaction with the current AAP MLA and others favoring local candidates. The previous election saw AAP win Jangpura by over 15,000 votes. This time, the BJP hopes to attract middle-class support and capitalize on anti-incumbency feelings against AAP.
