Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was expected to file his nomination today for the assembly elections at the end of a grand roadshow, had to postpone the paperwork as he failed to reach the venue on time. The job, he said, would be done tomorrow, which is also the last day for the filing of nomination.

A candidate has to reach the office of the Election Commissioner -- where the papers have to be filed -- by 3 pm. But the roadshow ran into extra time, while making its way through the crowded heart of Delhi.

"I was told I'll have to file nomination, but I said how can I leave them (his supporters at the road show) and go? I'll go to file the nomination tomorrow," Mr Kejriwal told reporters.
