Kalkaji Election Result 2020 LIVE Updates | Delhi Assembly Elections; Constituency, Party, Candidate Name Wise Winner, Loser, Leading, Trailing

Kalkaji Assembly Election 2020 | Surviving an initial scare, AAP’s Atishi cruised forward to register a win over BJP’s Dharambir Singh. Earlier in the day it seemed that perhaps replacing incumbent AAP MLA Avtar Singh Kalkaji with well-known AAP face Atishi was probably not an electorally wise decision for the party as she was trailing. The electoral battle at Kalkaji had taken a high-profile turn with the entry of Atishi as the AAP candidate from the Assembly constituency. Kalkaji voted along with 69 other Assembly seats in the upcoming Delhi Assembly election on 8 February. [caption id=“attachment_3175586” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] File image of Atishi.
