Now Kejriwal to share his 'man ki baat' with people of national capital

Kejriwal's radio segment will play on private FM channels. AAP had made effective use of radio in its campaign when it debuted in the Delhi elections last year, airing messages from Kejriwal.

Fresh elections in Delhi are yet to be announced, but the airwaves have already turned into a political battlefield. 

During the 2013 assembly elections, about 7 FM channels aired AAP’s messages, essentially of 6-7 types, in phases.

The Delhi Assembly earlier this month was dissolved, paving the way for fresh elections that will end the political hibernation since the AAP government fell in February.

A notification issued by the Home Ministry said that President Pranab Mukherjee has dissolved the "Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi with immediate effect" on November 4.

The Union Cabinet had in November first week recommended the dissolution of the Assembly following recommendation of LG Najeeb Jung after talks on Monday with BJP, Congress and AAP which expressed inability to form government and sought fresh mandate.

While the fresh elections may be held early next year.

The Election Commission cancelled the notification for by-election in three assembly constituencies in Delhi following the dissolution of the state assembly.

The Election Commission had on October 25 announced that Mehrauli, Tughlakabad and Krishna Nagar would go to the polls on November 25.

BJP legislators from the three places were elected to the Lok Sabha in May. Delhi has been under President's rule since February 17.
