BJP leader Ramesh Pehalwan and his wife joined AAP in the presence of Arvind Kejriwal ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Kejriwal ruled out an alliance with Congress, while Delhi Congress criticized AAP's handling of law and order. AAP released its third candidate list, dropping 17 sitting MLAs and renominating Manish Sisodia, Rakhi Birla, and Deepu Chaudhary.
