The Assembly elections in Delhi, where the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are raring for another face off, are likely to be held by the middle of February.
Authoritative sources in the Election Commission said the announcement for the one-day poll for the 70-member Assembly may be made this week.
The final list of electoral rolls for the National Capital Territory of Delhi will be published tomorrow that will pave the way for holding the polls anytime thereafter.
Incidentally, this will be the last election that will be announced by Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath, who will demit office on January 15 on attaining 65 years of age.
The sources said the schedule will be so fine-tuned that the elections are hoped to be completed in the second week of February or at best the third week so that it does not come in the way of annual examinations including those conducted by the CBSE that usually start early March. (AGENCIES)
