In September this year, senior AAP leader Atishi became the Delhi Chief Minister replacing Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned after he was granted bail by the court in liquor policy case.
Kejriwal was barred from entering the Chief Minister's office as one of the conditions for his bail.
The BJP, which swept all seven Lok Sabha seats in May-June elections, is aiming to unseat the AAP government, which has been running since 2015.
The Delhi assembly elections are due to be held earlier next year.
In the 2020 elections, the AAP had swept 67 out of 70 assembly seats in the union territory.
