Singh will address an election rally at Pratap Nagar in West Delhi constituency on Sunday while Advani will attend a rally tomorrow in Chattarpur in South Delhi seat.

Advani, BJP's prime ministerial candidate, will also address two more rallies in West Delhi and East Delhi constituencies on Monday.

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi will also participate in roadshows in North East Delhi constituency on May five, the last day of campaigning in the capital.

The BJP had proposed two rallies of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the city but the rallies were cancelled due to "unavoidable" reasons. "All the rallies of Modiji have been cancelled," a Delhi BJP leader said.

'Dream Girl' Hema Malini was also supposed to address a rally today in Karol Bagh but the rally has to be cancelled too because of "scheduling problems".

Election to seven Lok Sabha constituencies in the national capital will be held on May 7.
