The Rajouri Garden constituency has rural and urban voters ranging from different economic classes. Dominated by a Sikh populace, the concerns of the people, however, are common: poor road infrastructure and abysmal sanitation, both of which the political contenders had claimed to better during the last election campaign but in vain.

In the 2015 assembly polls, AAP’s Jarnail Singh got 54,916 votes to forge ahead of Shiromani Akali Dal’s Majinder Singh Sirsa (44,880) contesting as a BJP candidate. Congress candidate, Meenakshi Chandela, was third with 14,167 votes. However, since 2017, after Singh resigned to contest in the Punjab assembly elections, necessitating a bypoll, Sirsa has been the sitting MLA.
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.
