Durgesh Pathak can be AAP candidate from Karawal Nagar, hints Kejriwal

AAP national convener and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hinted that senior party member Durgesh Pathak could fielded from Karawal Nagar in the Delhi Assembly elections due early next year.

The Karawal Nagar Assembly segment is being represented by rebel AAP leader and former Delhi minister Kapil Mishra.

"The shortcomings during Kapil Mishra's time will be fulfilled by Durgesh," Kejriwal said at a gathering of residents of unauthorised colonies.

Pathak, who played an important role in party's landslide victory in 2015 Assembly elections, has been active in the constituency for the past few days.

Kejriwal also hit out at the BJP and the Congress for playing politics over the issue of regularisation of unauthorised colonies in the national capital.

"Why leaders of BJP and Congress did not do it (regularisation of unauthorised colonies) for so many years," he asked, adding, "We are firm on doing this."
