The battle of Delhi.

Lately the drama shrouding the Delhi politics just got away and the future of the Delhi political ground is slated to be created. After being reprimanded by the Supreme Court of India over the delay in re-elections in the state of Delhi, city’s Lieutenant Governor came into acting and called the majority parties to discuss any prospect of forming the government, all the parties involved rebutted compromising on any terms and hence now elections are soon going to take place very early in the upcoming time and therefore all the parties have jumped to complete showdown.

Just like all other elections in the nation, in this election too, people of the state have hardly any fervor for the already battered and flogged Indian National Congress(INC), so two parties remain in the arena which can clinch the victory, one being the invincible Bhartiya Janata Party(BJP) and the other being Aam Aadmi Party(AAP).

Talking about AAP, in the previous elections people had a lot of zest to vote for the newly founded party. Its leader Arvind Kejriwal was portrayed as a messiah who can take the state out of the shackles of corruption, nepotism etc. and hence Mr. Kejriwal was made CM of Delhi in his first ever election only. AAP came up second to only BJP in the elections on its promises of Jan Lokpal Bill and no corruption in the state, and after being filliped to majority by Congress, AAP elected its members to Delhi government with Kejriwal as the CM of the state. But in just 49 days, the party resigned with so many fiascos in its account. Arvind Kejriwal took so many unbelievable steps like giving humongous subsidy in electricity and water bills that if these schemes are applied, the state can fall into an unrecoverable debt. While his inability to stop crimes in the states and his demonstrations on road against Central government marked the end of his wave and this was clear from the result of Lok Sabha election in which his party was dashed to the ground and following this many of his important colleagues also forsook the party because of dictatorial style of Arvind Kejriwal and all this led to complete tarnishing of the AAP brand.

Where on one hand, the AAP was nosediving to the nadir, BJP clung to the pinnacle of success getting a complete majority in Lok Sabha election with the assistance of the Modi wave and after that too winning crucial states like Haryana and Maharashtra with majority in the assemblies and forming its own government. BJP has also evolved itself much in Delhi. The party’s progressive image can herald many votes for the party and presence of its government at the Center is also conducive to votes from those sections of Delhi who want a sanitized, technologically advanced Delhi. The youngsters in the state who did great work in helping the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections from the state are still up there for the Modi wave and the campaigns like “Swaach Bharat Mission” are also going to attract the voters to press the Lotus button in the ballot.

Taking about areas which have a majority of minority communities, BJP has also garner many votes from such areas too. People from these areas voted for the party during the Lok Sabha elections and are also supposed to repeat the same deed again. And if we glance upon the economically weaker section’s votes then the party is trying to project Udit Raj, Member of Parliament from Northwest Delhi, as its Dalit face and hence the party is sure to bag many votes from this section.

Above all of this, there is Modi wave. Mr. Modi is surely going to campaign in the state for the elections and his Modi wave still holds the power that it had during the Lok Sabha elections and can sweep it all to victory easily sans much effort.

Though BJP is very much sure of its victory in the state, we have to watch out for what’s in the heart of the people of Delhi. Let’s see the result of the ballot.
