In the elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party is hoping to extend its 15-year reign at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, while the Aam Aadmi Party is hoping to repeat the success that it achieved in the 2020 Assembly poll.
The Congress is fighting to regain relevance in Delhi, where it has been seeing a decline since the emergence of the Kejriwal-led party.
