All the three main parties have announced the names of their candidates for the Bijwasan assembly seat falling under South delhi Lok Sabha constituency. While the aam aadmi party has expressed confidence in bhupinder singh June and given him a chance again, the bjp has fielded Kailash Gehlot and the congress has fielded Colonel Devendra Singh Sehrawat as its candidates. The special thing is that, apart from AAP, the candidates of both bjp and congress staking their claim from here have been AAP's partners in the past. While Kailash Gehlot has recently left the AAP's broom and joined the lotus, Colonel Devendra Sehrawat had left the AAP and joined hands with the Congress. Now whether the people here will vote by looking at the candidate or the party, it will be known only in the coming time.
