Former Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot, who earlier left AAP to join the BJP, has been fielded from the Bijwasan seat.
In Kalkaji seat, a high-voltage poll war will be seen between Delhi CM Atishi and Ramesh Bidhuri. The Congress fielded Alka Lamba from the constituency.
The Aam Aadmi Party is eyeing its third term in Delhi after registering a thumping victory in the last two editions of the Assembly polls.
The AAP, however, failed to win a single seat in Delhi in the Lok Sabha polls.
