Delhi Polls- A riveting duel between comrades turned rivals results of which are yet to be witnessed

New Delhi, Feb 06 (ANI): New Delhi is in the middle of election frenzy with two major players - Arvind Kejriwal of Aam Aadmi Party and Kiran Bedi of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -locked in a tight race to the finish. Delhi goes to polls on Saturday for the second time in 14 months after the last elections threw up a hung assembly. Never before has a state election transfixed the attention of a nation as it has done this time around where two former bureaucrats, Magsaysay awardees and anti-corruption activists, are pitted against each other. The capital city, an amalgamation of people from almost all the Indian states, is witnessing a too-close-to-call fight between BJP and AAP, which captured people's imagination with its promise of corruption free rule. Congress party, which ruled the capital for the past 15 years, has been reduced to a fringe player amid seething anger over a slew of corruption scandals that tainted its last stay in power.
