Rohini was one of the three seats that BJP won amid a landslide victory for AAP in 67 out of 70 that year.
Rohini in north-west Delhi is perhaps the most urbanised constituencies among the 70 that make up the Delhi legislative assembly. Residents of this seat, carved out in 2008 during the delimitation exercise, are mostly businessmen and professionals.
Considered a BJP stronghold, Rohini voted AAP’s Rajesh Garg to victory in 2013 only to send Vijender Gupta to the assembly from his home turf in 2015, though with a modest margin of 5,367 votes.
The ruling party seeks a second term under the leadership of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. AAP has given tickets to 46 of its sitting MLAs besides introducing 15 new faces to the fray.
The BJP is contesting on 67 of the 70 assembly seats, leaving two seats for its National Democratic Alliance partner the Janata Dal (United) and one for the Lok Janshakti Party. Among the 67 BJP candidates, over 30 are former legislators or have contested the assembly elections in the past.
The Congress, which ruled Delhi for three consecutive terms from 1998 to 2013, is for the first time contesting the Delhi assembly polls in alliance with another party. The party has worked an alliance with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) who will contest on four seats.
