The AAP had evaluated the performance of its sitting MLAs, ahead of redistributing the tickets for the February 8 Assembly polls. According to party sources, the "report card" of each MLA is almost prepared by the party.

"We conducted a performance survey of each MLA on various levels. The survey is almost done," a party leader said demanding anonymity. The surveys, according to the leader, was done on the MLA's performance, popularity, feedback from workers and image.

"It is very important to know what people are thinking about the leader. We have decided not to repeat the face, if the leader has not worked or had a bad image," a party leader said.

The leader also informed that party is simultaneously also holding a survey for potential new faces. "Another survey is being done where the image of the new faces or the replacements had also been done," he said. The leader added the list is almost ready and the party can release it anytime. "There is an issue on a few seats, we are working on them," the leader said, refusing to reveal the seats name.



The AAP formed the government with a big majority in 2015 after the national capital went to polls for the second time in 14 months. Arvind Kejriwal, the incumbent Chief Minister had resigned from the post of Chief Minister and a 49 day coalition government with the Indian National Congress ended its rule. The national capital was under president's rule for a year before it went to polls again that saw dramatic shift of fortunes for the Aad Aadmi Party that had won 28 seats in the elections in December 2013.

The National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT-Delhi) has 70 assembly seats and AAP won 67 out of these 70 seats in 2015 making it the best win margin ever for a party in the national capital. The AAP has disqualified five of its MLAs since August 2019 from the Delhi Assembly.


The AAP has disqualified five candidates from the Delhi Assembly. While Anil Kumar Bajpai, Col. Devinder Sehrawat and Kapil Mishra were disqualified for their association with the BJP, Sandeep Kumar was disqualified for having connections with BSP and Alka Lamba was disqualified after she joined the Congress.

The party is also likely to use some of the names from seven of its Lok Sabha candidates. When asked, the leader said it will be revealed when the time is right.

Several Congressmen have joined the AAP in recent times, including Shoaib Iqbal, Vinay Mishra, Ram Singh Netaji and Prahlad Singh Sawhney.

The elections are crucial for all three major parties -- AAP, BJP and the Congress. While the Congress is trying to regain the chair over which it had control for 15 years, the AAP is trying to retain the power which it got after defeating the Congress. The BJP too is trying very hard to come back to power after not being in power since 1998 in Delhi. While the AAP is using Kejriwal's face for the post of Chief Minister, the BJP and Congress are yet to reveal their CM faces.
