NEW DELHI -- India's capital is set to hold an election on Feb. 8 against a backdrop of protests against the country's new citizenship law, which critics see as discriminating against Muslims, and violent incidents at top universities in the city.
The polls will witness a three-way fight among Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, which is eyeing a comeback in the capital after two decades, the main opposition Indian National Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, which currently rules the city government after landslide win in 2015.
