Upon joining AAP, Bittu said, “Aam Aadmi Party understands the pain of every person. Arvind Kejriwal is the messiah of the poor. That’s why I also want to move forward with the work of AAP.”
Delhi’s assembly elections are expected to take place in early 2025, though the Election Commission has not yet declared the official dates.
Delhi last held its Assembly elections in February 2020 in which the AAP won 62 out of the 70 Assembly seats.
