The state has been a BJP stronghold for a long time, and the party has set its sights on returning to power with a handsome majority this time.However, it faces a stiff electoral challenge from the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has named Isudan Gadhvi as its chief ministerial candidate.Meanwhile, Congress can also be seen hoping to put its best electoral foot forward to unseat the BJP government, which has been in the state for the last 27 years.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
