Kejriwal is facing huge anti-incumbency across Delhi for failing to deliver on promises made during previous election cycles.

Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the case of alleged corruption in framing the excise policy, which was later scrapped.

Both were released on bail after spending months behind bars.

Citing a CAG report last week, the BJP claimed a "big scam" in the renovation of Kejriwal's official residence on 6, Flagstaff Road when he was the chief minister of Delhi.
