MCD bypolls: BJP likley to release candidate names in 2-3 days

Gearing up for the municipal corporation by-polls scheduled for May 15, the Delhi BJP's election committee today held a meeting to discuss the probable candidates for the 13 seats.
The final list of candidates is likely to be released within next 2-3 days, a senior BJP city unit leader said.
The meeting chaired by Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay was attended by state in-charge Shyam Jaju, Union minister Harsh Vardhan, MPs Meenakshi Lekhi, Ramesh Bidhuri, Pravesh Verma, Udit Raj and other senior leaders.
Upadhyay said for strict monitoring of campaign, the party has decided to appoint senior leaders or state office-bearers as in-charge of all the 13 wards were by-polls would be held.

The Aam Admi Party has already announced its candidates for the by-polls while Congress today released a list of 12 nominees.
The posts of councillors in the 13 wards fell vacant after nine of them resigned on becoming legislators in the 2013 Assembly elections and four after the 2015 polls.
