Delhi Election Voting Day: Elections are being held for Delhi's 70 assembly seats, and voting started at 7 AM. This time, a triangular contest is being witnessed in the Delhi elections. The Aam Aadmi Party is facing stiff competition from the BJP, while Congress has also entered the electoral arena with full strength. Now, the people will decide who will win, and the EVMs will be opened on February 8, revealing who will form the government in Delhi.

Will Arvind Kejriwal Secure Majority Again, or Will BJP-Congress Make a Comeback?

The Aam Aadmi Party had registered a spectacular victory in the last two elections, but this time, the party is facing multiple challenges. Allegations of corruption related to the liquor policy have put Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and several party leaders under investigation. On the other hand, the BJP is running a massive electoral campaign under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and is putting in all its efforts to form a government in Delhi this time.

Congress, which was once the most influential party in Delhi, is hoping to return to power after a long gap of 10 years. This makes the election highly intriguing.

10 Key Points About the Electoral Contest:

  1. AAP's Performance: The Aam Aadmi Party gained significant popularity due to its policies in education and healthcare, but the stain of the liquor policy scam might work against it.

  2. BJP's Hopes: Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the BJP has won elections in several states. This time, the party is making every effort to form its government in Delhi as well.

  3. Congress's Comeback Attempt: Congress, which ruled Delhi until 2013, is trying to regain its lost position this time.

  4. Challenges for AAP Government: Corruption allegations against Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and other leaders in the liquor policy case could impact the elections.

  5. Clashes Between Central and State Government: Frequent clashes with the Lieutenant Governor and the central government have also added to AAP's difficulties.

  6. Corruption Allegations: The Aam Aadmi Party, which came to power on an anti-corruption campaign, is now itself embroiled in corruption allegations.

  7. Kejriwal Model: Kejriwal has claimed to have strengthened education and healthcare services in Delhi, but the opposition has termed this as "freebie culture."

  8. Supreme Court’s Verdict: The Supreme Court had clarified that the Delhi government holds all administrative powers, but the center passed an ordinance granting more power to the Lieutenant Governor, escalating the conflict.

  9. BJP's Strategy: This time, the BJP is relying on its strong organizational strategy and Prime Minister Modi's popularity in the elections.

  10. People’s Verdict: If the Aam Aadmi Party loses, it will be a major setback for the 10-year-old party. A BJP victory will strengthen its national credibility, while a Congress win will mark a significant comeback in Delhi.
