"I have always said that a candidate's conduct, thoughts should be pure, life should be without a blame, and sacrifice should be there... these qualities let voters have faith on him.

Kejriwal worked under Hazare in 2011 during the 'India Against Corruption' movement. Ties soured over political difference soon after.

To start with, the AAP has pushed major welfare initiatives like cash handouts for youth and women — in a city whose per capita income of Rs 4.61 lakh is more than double the national average of Rs 2.12 lakh.

The party has been promoting the 'Delhi model' of governance since the last election — laying focus on improved public health and education services that are seen benefitting middle and lower income families.

The BJP has also promised a slew of welfare handouts for many socio-economic classes. But its sharpest political narrative has been allegations of corruption against senior AAP leaders like Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, both of whom have spent jail time in the Delhi liquor policy case.

The Congress, struggling to stay relevant for the past decade following the end of its 15-year reign under former CM Sheila Dixit, has also raised the welfare flag with fiscally expensive promises. The party is seen to be lacking organisational muscle in Delhi.

The BJP last held power between 1993-1998, while the Congress nearly evaporated after its 15-year reign under former CM Sheila Dixit ended in 2013.
