New Delhi, 15 January (H.S.): Many leaders including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pravesh Verma filed nomination papers for Delhi Assembly elections on Wednesday. Kejriwal and Pravesh Verma filed nomination from New Delhi Assembly constituency.

If his government is formed again, work will be done to improve schools, hospitals, electricity and to give honorarium to women in Delhi.

AAP leader Sandeep Pathak said that Kejriwal has filed nomination from New Delhi Assembly seat. We have been working for mothers and sisters in the past and will continue to do so in future. No matter how much the BJP people conspire against the Aam Aadmi Party and our leaders, the people of Delhi are going to choose Kejriwal again.
