New Delhi, Jan 8 (PTI) BJP chief JP Nadda will take stock of poll preparations of the party’s Delhi unit on Thursday, and hold meetings with the state election committee and other election panels, party leaders said.

The elections for 70 member Delhi Assembly will be held on February 5. Counting of votes will be held on February 8.

The BJP has so far announced candidates for 29 of the 70 constituencies. The tickets for remaining 41 seats are likely to be announced by this weekend, party leaders said.

The BJP is yet to share its manifesto for the assembly polls, even as the ruling AAP and the Congress announce poll promises, including monthly allowances for women. The Congress earlier in the day promised a Rs 25 lakh health insurance scheme if voted to power in Delhi.

A senior Delhi BJP leader said that the manifesto of the party was almost prepared and will be sent for approval of the national leadership. It was likely to be announced in next few days, he said.

The BJP has formed over 45 poll committees to handle various works related to campaigning and allied activities. PTI VIT SKY SKY
