Manish Sisodia, senior party member contesting from Shahdara, has declared assets worth Rs 41.56 lakh.

The crore-plus club includes members from other parties. Among them is Surendra Kumar of BSP who's filed nomination from Gokalpur. This nominee is worth Rs 3.79 crore along with his family. A K Walia of Congress, who's contesting from Laxmi Nagar, has declared assets of Rs 18.28 crore.
