The general category seat is situated in the central Delhi district and is one of the 10 assembly segments that make up the North East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.

The triangular contest in the national capital created palpable tension. While AAP and Congress are part of INDIA alliance on national level, the two parties are contesting against each other in Delhi. If BJP won the capital, it would be a huge comeback after 27 years.
