New Delhi , November 13: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday released its second list of 117 candidates for elections to the 250-ward Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) scheduled for December 4.

The AAP's second list was released shortly after the BJP issued its first list of 232 candidates for the civic body elections.

 Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had dared the BJP to tell the public about five things they have done in the MCD in the last 15 years.

 AAP had released its first list of 134 candidates.

The party has fielded Bobby Kinaar, a member of the Transgender community, as a candidate for the upcoming elections from Sultanpuri-A ward.

The Sultanpuri-A ward is a seat resrerved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates. In the 2017 elections, AAP's Sanjeev Kumar had won the seat.

Kejriwal had also released the party's manifesto for the December 4 polls saying that his government will work on fulfilling 10 'guarantees'.

"We will work to fulfil 10 guarantees. We will clean the streets of Delhi and solve the issue of garbage pile. We will also carry out beautification of parks," Kejriwal had said at a press conference.

 As part of its preparations for the polls, the AAP has also launched the 'Kude Par Jansamvad' campaign during which AAP leaders will listen to people's garbage problems and discuss their solutions through Jansamvad (public interaction).

AAP office bearers have been directed to visit all areas of Delhi, meet people and try to understand their issues.
