The Shiromani Akali Dal Tuesday said it will contest from four seats in the Feb 7 Delhi assembly polls, a day after its ally, the BJP, released its list of 62 candidates.
"The Shiromani Akali Dal will fight from four seats in Delhi as per the formula of our alliance with the BJP," Akali Dal Delhi unit president Manjeet Singh G.K. said.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa will be contesting from Rajouri Garden, Harmeet Singh Kalka from Kalkaji and Jitender Singh Shunti from Shahdara.
The party left out Shyam Sharma from the Hari Nagar seat and instead chose Avtar Singh Hit.
Of the four candidates, Sirsa will contest on Akali Dal's weighing scale symbol, while the other three candidates will fight on the BJP's lotus symbol.
Delhi goes to polls Feb 7 and the results will be declared Feb 10.
