The upcoming assembly elections would be a litmus test for the more than a decade-long administration of the ruling AAP in the national capital. It is also expected to showcase the mandate of the people of Delhi after political chaos following the arrest and jailing of the former chief minister Kejriwal. The AAP chief spend over six month in jail in the alleged Delhi liquors policy scam case before being released on bail by the Supreme Court in September this year.
Though Kejriwal served as the chief minister throughout his jail term, without stepping down, he resigned on September 17, paving way for senior party leader Atishi Marlena for the position. The AAP chief had said that his fate is in the hand of the people of Delhi, suggesting he would return as chief minister if the party is voted to power for another term.
