The contest in Rajendra Nagar constituency in central Delhi was a battle of prestige after Raghav Chadha lost the South Delhi constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The seat was also a challenge for the AAP because of the voters’ negative feedback in the area about its sitting MLA Vijender Garg, who was dropped this year.

The 31-year-old AAP national spokesperson, Raghav Chadha, is a chartered accountant.

RP Singh, 58, had won from the assembly segment in the 2013 elections.

Rocky Tuseed of the Congress was also in the fray in Rajendra Nagar constituency.
