Chief Minister Atishi filed her nomination for the upcoming Delhi assembly polls from Kalkaji constituency on Tuesday.

She filed her nomination papers at the district magistrate’s (DM) office in Lajpat Nagar.

Atishi was supposed to file her papers on Monday following a roadshow. However, there was a delay due to the roadshow and she could not make it to the DM’s office before the 3 pm deadline, according to an AAP leader.

Atishi is pitted against the BJP’s Ramesh Singh Bidhuri and the Congress’ Alka Lamba.

A seasoned politician and former MP, Bidhuri won Tughlakabad assembly seat in 2003, 2008 and 2013.

Lamba was with the AAP for almost five years and joined the Congress in 2019.

Kalkaji constituency has a total of 1,94,515 voters - 1,06,893 male, 87,617 female and 5 transgender.

The 70-member Delhi Assembly goes to polls on February 5. The results will be announced on February 8.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
