AAP seeks to strike balance in candidate selection

While party leader Arvind Kejriwal doesn't mince words when it comes to attacking the media, it is ironic that it has given a sizable number of tickets to journalists.

Mukul Tripathi, Ashish Khetan, Jarnail Singh, who had flung his shoe on P Chidambaram, and former Time journalist Anita Pratap are among them.

Ashutosh will contest against Union minister Kapil Sibal from Chandni Chowk constituency here.

Despite the erstwhile AAP government's decision of scrapping FDI in retail, it has managed to find candidates from the corporate world as well.

Sanyal has been named to take on Union minister Milind Deora from South Mumbai. K Balakrishnan, former Chief Financial Officer of Infosys, would be contesting from Bangalore Central.
