Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday offered prayers at the Valmiki Temple here before filing his nomination from the New Delhi constituency for the February 7 assembly polls in the capital.
The AAP chief will be campaigning in Bharatiya Janata Party chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi's constituency Krishna Nagar later in the day.
Earlier today, Kejriwal invited Bedi for a public debate and the latter accepted the challenge.
Both Kejriwal and Bedi were part of the anti-corruption movement led by activist Anna Hazare before the AAP chief decided to form his own political party.
Bedi was named as BJP's chief ministerial candidate on Monday night and will be fielded from Krishna Nagar seat in Delhi while Kejriwal will contest Delhi from the New Delhi constituency.
