"It is a single-phase election&hellip; We have deliberately kept polling on a Wednesday so more people come out to vote&hellip; like we did in Maharashtra. The entire election process will be completed by February 10," Kumar said during a press conference.
Of the 70 seats in Delhi, 58 are general, and 12 are reserved. The electoral roll lists 1.55 crore voters in Delhi, including 83.49 lakh men, 71.74 lakh women, and 1,261 transgender voters.
Among these, there are 25.89 lakh young voters, 2.08 lakh first-time voters, and 830 voters above the age of 100, Kumar added.
More than 13,000 polling stations will be set up across Delhi.

Kumar also mentioned the upcoming by-elections in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam and Nagrota constituencies, which will be postponed due to snow conditions, but assured that these elections will be completed by April.
He further noted that two parliamentary constituencies, Basirhat in West Bengal and Visavadar in Gujarat, are awaiting by-elections due to pending election petitions. "We cannot hold by-elections until those petitions are resolved," he said. Election petitions must be filed within 45 days of the result declaration in the state high courts.

"This election will be between the politics of work and the politics of abuse. The people of Delhi will have faith in our politics of work. We will definitely win," Kejriwal said on X.
Kejriwal and AAP leaders have been accusing the BJP of hurling abuses and trying to win the elections without having any chief ministerial candidate and issues.
Kejriwal also appealed to the Aam Aadmi Party workers to get ready to enter the political battle with full strength and enthusiasm and called them the biggest strength of the party.

Kejriwal accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.

AAP govt will give temple, gurdwara priest Rs 18,000 a month if returns to power: Arvind Kejriwal

Kejriwal accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that if re-elected, his party would launch a 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana' to give a monthly allowance of Rs 18,000 to Hindu temple priests and granthis of gurdwaras.
The announcement comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, with AAP seeking to retain power for a fourth consecutive term.

"Pujaris and granthis are an important part of our society, but they are often a neglected section. For the first time in the country, we are introducing a scheme to support them, under which they will receive a monthly allowance of Rs 18,000," Kejriwal said, adding, registration for the scheme will start tomorrow.
He also said he would visit the Hanuman Mandir in Connaught Place on Tuesday to oversee the registration process for priests there.
Registration will also be done at other temples and gurdwaras across the city by the AAP workers, he said.
Kejriwal also accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.
"Just like the BJP tried to stop the Mahila Samman Yojana by sending police but couldn't, similarly they shouldn't try to stop the 'Pujari-Granthi Samman' scheme. BJP will incur a great sin by doing this.
"This scheme is a tribute to their spiritual contribution to society and their efforts to preserve our cultural heritage," he added in a social media post made after the announcement.
The former chief minister did not specify clear guidelines for the registration process.
He said the number of registrations to avail of the proposed honorarium will be made public once the process is completed.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, who also attended the press conference, lauded the initiative.
"When Aam Aadmi Party forms the government in Delhi again, temple priests and Gurudwara granthis who have been preserving and carrying forward our culture and civilisation for generations will be given an honorarium of Rs 18,000 per month. Arvind Kejriwal Ji's decision is not only a tribute to the service of the priests and granthis but also a resolve to preserve our heritage," she wrote in a post on X.
Meanwhile, imams and muezzins of the mosques under the Delhi Waqf Board in Delhi staged a protest outside Kejriwal's residence over the delay in the release of their salaries.
Protestors claimed their monthly honorarium of Rs 18,000 (for imams) and Rs 16,000 (for muezzins) have been delayed for over one and a half years.

Delhi govt departments distance themselves from AAP's promised schemes

The development, which came days after AAP leaders launched the exercise of registering people for the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana with much fanfare, left the AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal furious.

The Delhi government's Women and Child Development and Health departments issued public notices on Wednesday distancing themselves from the ruling AAP's promised schemes of providing Rs 2,100 to women and free treatment for the elderly, triggering a fresh row ahead of assembly polls.
The two departments also cautioned the people against providing personal details to anyone on the pretext of registration for "non-existent" schemes, saying any private individual or political party collecting such physical forms or information is "fraudulent and without any authority".

"They are completely rattled with Mahila Samman Yojna and Sanjeevani Yojna. They have hatched a plan to come up with a fake case and arrest Chief Minister Atishi in the next few days," he said on X.
He also claimed that before Atishi's arrest, raids would be conducted against senior AAP leaders.
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj had on Tuesday claimed that she spoke to the health secretary of the Delhi government and was informed that there was no "Sanjeevani Yojna" in existence.
Both the schemes were announced by Kejriwal ahead of Assembly polls in February next year and AAP had started registrations for the schemes in campaign mode. Its leaders are confident that the measure will help woo voters as many believe that such schemes were a factor in the ruling parties retaining power in several state elections.
"It has been brought to the notice of the Department of Women and Child Development, through media reports and social media posts, that a political party is claiming to disburse Rs 2100 per month under Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana to women in Delhi.
"It is clarified that no such scheme has been notified by the Government of Delhi," said the public notice by the department.
If and when the scheme begins, the department will launch a digital portal for eligible individuals to submit their applications online as per the approved guidelines, it said.
Since no such scheme exists, the question of physical forms for registration under this non-existent scheme does not arise, read the notice.
"Any private individual/ political party collecting such physical forms/applications or collecting information from applicants under the name of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana is fraudulent and without any authority," it said.
The notice cautioned the people that providing personal details and sensitive information like PAN account numbers, phone numbers or Voter ID, in the name of the scheme may lead to crime including cyber and banking frauds.
It advised people not to entertain the "misleading" promise of non- non-existent scheme and to exercise caution and asked them not to provide personal details to unauthorised persons.
The Mahila Samman Yojna was announced by the AAP government in the budget 2024-25 to provide Rs 1000 per month to all eligible women aged above 18 in Delhi. Kejriwal recently promised to raise the amount to Rs 2100 per woman if AAP returned to power.
The Health and Family Department public notice similarly cautioned the people about "Sanjeevani Yojna" announced by the AAP supremo for free treatment of senior citizens above 60 years at government and private hospitals.
It has also come to the notice of the department that a registration drive to get enrolled under this scheme by filling up physical forms has also been started by some political functionaries and volunteers who are visiting door to door to collect information from elderly citizens and handing over to them some sort of "Health/Sanjeevani Scheme Card".
The notice said details of senior citizens like phone numbers, addresses, Aadhar and bank accounts were being sought for the registration and many of the elderly people have started visiting government hospitals and government offices to enquire about the scheme.
The notice said the Health and Family department does not have any supposed "Sanjeevani Scheme" in existence till date.
"Any private individual/political party collecting such physical forms/ applications or collecting information of applicants under the name of "Sanjeevani Yojna" is fraudulent and without any authority," read the notice clarifying the department has not authorised any health officials to collect personal details of the elderly.

Delhi Assembly Polls: BJP issues 'chargesheet' against Arvind Kejriwal; vows to remove AAP from power

Ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, the state unit of the BJP has formed a &ldquo;chargesheet committee&rdquo; that has so far issued detailed reports listing the alleged failures of the ruling AAP MLAs.

Senior BJP leader Anurag Thakur on Monday issued a &ldquo;chargesheet&rdquo; against AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of turning Delhi into a &ldquo;corruption lab&rdquo; through a series of &ldquo;scams&rdquo;.
No immediate reaction was available from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the allegations of the BJP leader.
Ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, the state unit of the BJP has formed a &ldquo;chargesheet committee&rdquo; that has so far issued detailed reports listing the alleged failures of the ruling AAP MLAs.
&ldquo;What kind of a party is this which came to power promising to give corruption-free government but was involved in eight to nine scams related to the liquor policy, Delhi Jal Board, DTC, Waqf Board,&rdquo; Thakur charged.
&ldquo;Ghotale Pe Ghotala, Kejriwal Ne Banaya Delhi Ko Bhrashtachar Ki Prayogshala&rdquo; (Kejriwal turned Delhi into a laboratory of corruption with scams), Thakur gave the slogan and asserted that the BJP will remove the AAP from power in Delhi.
The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due to be held in February next year.
The former Union minister also targeted the AAP and Kejriwal over education and health, alleging it failed to open new Mohalla Clinics and hospitals and did not use the Centre&rsquo;s funds to boost the city&rsquo;s healthcare infrastructure.
He charged that the smog tower in Connaught Place, which was supposed to provide relief from air pollution, was lying defunct although the AAP government spent crores of rupees on advertisement.
He cited water shortage, lack of sanitation, damaged roads, and other issues to corner the ruling AAP.
Thakur also alleged that the AAP has been supporting &ldquo;anti-national&rdquo; forces and Kejriwal questioned India&rsquo;s surgical strikes. He said the party got the support of &ldquo;Khalistanti elements&rdquo; during the Punjab polls.

The scheme, originally introduced in the 2024-25 budget under the name 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana,' aims to empower women financially.

Delhi Elections 2025: AAP Government Approves ₹1,000 Monthly Aid for Women Under Mahila Samman Yojana

The scheme, originally introduced in the 2024-25 budget under the name 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana,' aims to empower women financially.

Ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 2025, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal unveiled the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana, a scheme aimed at providing monthly financial assistance to women in the national capital. Under this initiative, eligible women will receive ₹1,000 each month, with Kejriwal promising an increase to ₹2,100 if AAP retains power in the upcoming elections.
The announcement, made on December 12, 2024, comes as part of the AAP's campaign to appeal to women voters. The scheme, approved by the Delhi Cabinet, was first proposed during the Delhi Budget for 2024-25. The government has allocated ₹2,000 crore for the initiative, which is expected to benefit approximately 38 lakh women out of the 67 lakh women voters in the city.
Eligibility Criteria and Rollout
To qualify for the scheme, women must meet the following criteria:
<ul>
<li>Be a registered voter in Delhi.</li>
<li>Have an annual income of ₹2.50 lakh or less.</li>
<li>Be between the ages of 18 and 60 years.</li>
<li>Not own a four-wheeler.</li>
</ul>
Kejriwal emphasized that women can now register for the scheme, with payments expected to begin after the election. While the financial assistance will initially be ₹1,000, the Chief Minister assured that it would rise to ₹2,100 per month if AAP wins another term.
Political Context and Election Strategy
The announcement comes as the AAP seeks to secure a third consecutive term in Delhi after winning 67 seats in the 2015 elections and 63 seats in 2020. The party's popularity has largely been attributed to its focus on welfare schemes, including healthcare and education.
However, the Mahila Samman Yojana has faced some hurdles. The Finance Department had previously raised concerns over budgetary constraints, but Kejriwal remains optimistic about its successful implementation. He also took a swipe at opposition parties, stating that the rollout of the scheme had been delayed due to political challenges, adding, "I wanted to roll out this scheme earlier, but they put me in jail."
With the assembly elections looming, the announcement of the Mahila Samman Yojana is expected to boost AAP&rsquo;s appeal among women voters, a crucial demographic in the upcoming elections.

Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister, has firmly stated that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will contest the upcoming 2025 Delhi elections independently, dismissing rumors of any alliance with the Congress.

'In 2014 PM Modi promised...': Arvind Kejriwal after LS passes Delhi Services Bill

The Delhi Services Bill was cleared by the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Soon after Delhi Services Bill was cleared in Lok Sabha by voice vote, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the BJP for failing to keep its promises.&nbsp;
Taking to Twitter, Delhi CM wrote, 'Every time BJP promised to give full statehood to Delhi. In 2014, Modi himself said that on becoming the Prime Minister, he would give full statehood to Delhi. But today these people stabbed the people of Delhi in the back. Don't believe anything of Modi Ji from now on.
The Delhi services bill was passed after a nearly four-hour-long debate which was replied to by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Shah made it clear that the central government has the power to make laws on Union territories and Delhi, being a Union Territory, the Centre enjoys full rights to make rules also.
Launching a scathing attack on the opposition for joining hands against the central government's move to bring the bill, Shah predicted that once the bill is passed, the opposition alliance will collapse.
He alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government in Delhi has not been not functioning within rules and it is even not convening assembly sessions regularly.
