Delhi election is not unilateral this time, BJP has strengthened and you are restless, but Congress’s claim weakened
It is said that in the twelve years, the wheel of time revolves a circle. The first government of the Aam Aadmi Party was formed in Delhi in 2013. With the help and Congress, this government could not complete even fifty days, but in the political history of the country, it was undoubtedly recorded that not only a year after the party formation (November 2012), not only AAP formed a government in a state, but its The leader also became the Chief Minister. Now, in the twelfth year of the thirteenth year of the party formation and for the first time, when the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has come out on the streets of Delhi to seek mandate for the fourth time, she is finding herself confused.
On January 10 of the new year, the electoral shade started on the roads of the capital, some two months before the Election Commission issued a notification for the Delhi Assembly elections. On the one hand, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) posters, hoardings and billboards were seen teasing the AAP government, on the other hand, AAP started meetings under the name ‘Discussion on Revdi’ in the assemblies. This was bizarre because you defined free electricity and water as the rights of the people, not Revdi.
AAP leader, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that his party would ask the people whether he needs Revdi or not. The formula to understand this question is seen in pre -election announcements of the three major parties. This is the shay where you are finding yourself stuck in the “delivery model” started in your own “delivery model”.
Revdi vs issue
The BJP has promised 500 units to temples and gurdwaras and 300 units free electricity to houses. Apart from this, a monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 has been promised for women. This is more bizarre than this, because the party has been calling these services as Revdi and people as beneficiaries. Under your rule, electricity-water was free, it first announced Rs 2,100 per month and free health service to maintain women voters. As the years passed, AAP gathered the religious leaders, Arvind Kejriwal and other party leaders along with Babas and glands were seen on stage and declared a salary of Rs 18,000 a month for the pandas.

The Congress had nothing to give in the remote third place with four percent votes in the fight, so it also announced Rs 2,500 for women, a health insurance cover of Rs 25 lakh for everyone on the lines of Rajasthan Announced and asked to give an allowance of eight and a half thousand rupees to unemployed youth. On January 13, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Arvind Kejriwal for the first time at the first meeting in Seilampur. He asked, “Kejriwal Adani, why are you silent on the issue of increasing the limit of caste census, reservation.”
The biggest weakness and biggest strength of “delivery politics” is the same thing. The more you give, the more you will get. In this game of transactions, the rest of the issues of people become secondary. In the last years, the way the BJP has made this politics with the help of its central system and has made voters its “beneficiary” with the funds of government schemes, the situation of the rest of the parties seems weak in front of it. One effect of this is that now the politics of the issue is no longer possible because voter is waiting for competitive benefits.
This is the reason why you had to start discussion on Revdi. You have no other tech politically and ideologically. He always described himself as “insignificant”. In the cover of this “insertion”, he did all the things that a nationalist or right -wing party, such as making Delhi’s school curriculum intruded by patriotism or to make tricolor and take tricolor trips to the whole of Delhi. On the pitch of religion, monthly salary has been announced for Pandas and Grandis.
In delivery politics, both parties are in collision. But this situation is different from the 2020 election because at that time Shaheen Bagh agitation and Delhi riots brought Muslims united with AAP and the election was polarized that the Congress had come down to nine percent of the votes to four.
Today, there is a gap of only fifteen percent of the votes between BJP and AAP. If the BJP went above forty percent and you slipped below fifty percent, then the fight may get stuck. It is a different matter that if you also have a loss of twenty seats, then the government will see the formation of it with a majority. This is the screw where Delhi’s election has been stuck on accusations of tampering and cuts in this voter list. This is unprecedented because neither the BJP looked so restless before that, nor did you ever say anything in relation to voter lists. Remember, the Delhi elections of 2015 and 2020 were almost flat, as if you were all accepting the victory. This time it is not so.
The major irony of Revdi politics is that if someone looks at the streets of Delhi, he will feel that the election is really on issues. All the posters, banners, hoardings of all -round BJP and AAP are being held in all of them, there are counter -slogans of roads, electricity, health, Yamuna, dirt, sewer etc. That is, the psychological atmosphere is being made from the issue -centered superficial propaganda, but voters are being directly attracted from the Revdis.
Seat became a nose question
Perhaps it is an uneasy that the Aam Aadmi Party has constantly complained to the Election Commission regarding changes in voter lists. It is interesting that these complaints have been made only about the New Delhi Legislative Assembly from where Arvind Kejriwal contests, while changes have also been equal in other assemblies. First Chief Minister Atishi wrote a long letter to Union Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on 5 January and complained of about 13,000 names and about 6,000 names added to the voter list on the new Delhi seat. There are around one lakh seven thousand registered voters in this assembly and you allege that about 6 percent of the voters have been cut.
Arvind Kejriwal wrote a letter to the Election Commission on 11 January about these complaints. In this, the new allegation was that the BJP is connecting its votes across the country through the address of its MPs and ministers in the New Delhi Legislative Assembly. A delegation of AAP went to meet the Election Commission in this regard. It is said that Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar was not present.
This has strengthened the doubts whether the BJP has really tampered with the electoral benefits with voter lists. According to the Congress, the names of some thirteen lakh voters have been cut from lists all over Delhi. During the last two months, some five lakh new voters have been added. According to the Election Commission, this time the number of voters of Delhi has increased by five percent compared to the 2020 assembly elections. What is the correct meaning of these figures and what are the electoral implications of voters to decline, it is understood by the claims and allegations of the parties, but only you have repeated complaints about Kejriwal’s assembly. It shows that the BJP has special emphasis on the new Delhi seat this time.

Perhaps that’s why this VIP seat, this Congress has removed Sandeep Dixit, son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dixit. Interestingly, a candidate is also contesting from this seat who used to be a special donor and friend of Kejriwal. It is the President of the Indian Liberal Party (BLP), Dr. Munish Raizada, whose discussion is not as much in the media. Dr. Munish was a doctor of children in America. When AAP stopped making public information public on his website in 2015, Munish campaigned in Delhi in the name of Chanda Satyagraha.
Dr. Munish, who is running his office from BK Dutt Colony of New Delhi Legislative Assembly, is not concerned at all when the names are cut and added in the voter list of his seat. Munish says that there is a light on New Delhi because all those fake voters have been cut, with the help of which Kejriwal was continuously winning. He says, “It will be harmful to Arvind alone because he was a bogus voter.” That is why they are shouting. ”
BJP supporters believe that this time defeating Kejriwal in his seat will be the biggest achievement, even if the BJP government does not form.
Identify emerging
Apart from breathtaking promises from voters, tampering of voter list, there are also strange incidents in elections this time. Started with Arvind Kejriwal when he sent a strange letter to Mohan Bhagwat, the head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on 30 December. He wrote, “There are reports in the media that the RSS will ask for votes for the BJP in the Delhi elections. Is this right Before this, people want to know from you that the RSS supports the wrong acts BJP in the past? ” After this, he wrote two points. First, the BJP leaders “are buying votes by distributing money openly” and second, “Efforts are being made to cut the votes of poor, Dalits, Purvanchali and slums.”
He wrote one such letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 January. In this, he demanded to include five other backward class castes including Jats in the central list of OBCs, who have the status of OBC in Delhi. In this connection, he counted the oral promises made in 2015, 2017 and 2019, which mentioned a meeting that was held under the chairmanship of Amit Shah at Parvesh Verma. Parvesh Verma reacted sharply to this. Verma and BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri accused Kejriwal of trying to divide Delhi into castes, the BJP has done a lot for Jats.
Parvesh Verma himself is Jat and 28 seats of rural Delhi are Jat dominated, on which a good ticket has come to see and many MLAs have been cut. These 28 seats are playing an important role in this election. On the lines of Jat, there was a ruckus about Pahranchali identity. BJP leader Manoj Tiwari reached to surround Kejriwal’s residence with a crowd.
Riot crop
In the politics of Delhi, the fights of caste and identity had never come to the surface before. The 2020 election was slightly polarized on religious grounds due to riots and before that there was a one -sided wave of Kejriwal in the 2015 elections. This time, elections are expected to be divided on caste identities and the riots have also been cooked.
For the first time, BJP has given ticket to Kapil Mishra, who raised a very controversial communal slogan with Parvesh Verma in the riots. Mishra was given a ticket by cutting the ticket of the established leader like Mohan Singh Bisht from Karawal Nagar and a little dissatisfaction spread. Bisht was later sent to Mustafabad. The BJP and its subsidiary organization Ram temple are organizing programs across Delhi on the occasion of completion of one year of life.
You are also organizing religious events. Kejriwal, who went to campaign on January 12 in New Delhi seat in New Delhi, the way people ran and shouted slogans of Murdabad are also an indication that Delhi’s Fiza is changing.
Voting in Delhi is to be held on February 5 and the result is to come on February 8. The fight is two-way between BJP and AAP, even though there are many more small parties in the field. Election preparations from the Congress are not looking special, although its claim on four-five seats is solid. Apart from this, CPI, CPI, CPI, CPI, NCP, BSP, BLP and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) are also trying their lucky handfuls in other parties.
