Delhi Chief Minister and AAP candidate Atishi will file her nomination today for the Kalkaji Assembly constituency. The Delhi Assembly elections are set for February 5.

Visits to Kalkaji Temple and Giri Nagar Gurudwara

Atishi shared her plan on X. First, she will visit the Kalkaji Temple to seek the blessings of Kalka Maa. “I am going to file my nomination today. I will go to Kalkaji temple and take the blessings of Kalka Mai. Then, after praying at Giri Nagar Gurudwara, I will start the nomination rally. In the last 5 years, I have received a lot of love from my family in Kalkaji. I am sure their blessings will remain with me,” she said.

Accusations Against BJP

Atishi criticized the BJP, accusing them of “farzivada” or voter fraud in the assembly elections. She claimed that the BJP had resorted to manipulation in previous elections. “The BJP has become accustomed to winning elections through ‘farzivada’. They may have done this in Maharashtra and Haryana as well, but in Delhi, they got caught. From December 15 to January 8, there were 13,000 new voting applications in the New Delhi Legislative Assembly. It is clear that the BJP is indulging in forgery. We will not let the BJP do anything wrong. The BJP has been in power at the Centre for over 10 years, and what have they done for the Delhi people? Their only job is to abuse Kejriwal. They neither have a face for the CM nor any vision,” Atishi stated.

Facing Rivals in Kalkaji

Atishi is contesting the Kalkaji seat against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress’ Alka Lamba.

Crowdfunding for Election Funds

Atishi has launched a crowdfunding campaign for her election fund. Within just six hours of asking for donations, she raised over Rs 15 lakh through her online portal. Her target is to raise Rs 40 lakh for her campaign. As of January 10, she has collected Rs 15,15,930 from 278 donors.

AAP’s Stance on Donations

Atishi emphasized that AAP only accepts donations from people, not from big businessmen. “People donated money to support Aam Admi Party’s honest politics. We don’t take money from big businessmen for elections. AAP government works for the common people. For my election from Kalkaji, I am launching a crowdfunding campaign for Rs 40 lakh, which I need for the election. People can donate any amount they want,” she said.
