'We will surely win': Kejriwal sounds poll bugle for ruling party
Hindustan Times Amritsar|January 08, 2025
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday called on party workers to "gear up with full strength" and get ready to take on the "massive electoral machinery" of the other parties, as he expressed confidence in securing another victory in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.

NEW DELHI:

Hours after the Election Commission announced that the polls will take place on February 5, with results on February 8, Kejriwal framed the contest as one between "kaam ki rajneeti" (politics of work) and "gaali ki rajneeti" (politics of abuses), in a veiled jab at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been the principal opposition party in Delhi in the last two elections.

Declaring that the AAP is ready, Kejriwal urged volunteers to face the opposition's formidable electoral machinery with determination.

"The election schedule has been announced. All volunteers should gear up with full strength and enthusiasm to take the field. Even their massive machinery fails in the face of your passion. You are our greatest strength. This election will be a contest between the politics of work and the politics of hurling abuses. The trust of Delhi's people will remain with our politics of work. We will surely win," Kejriwal said in a post on X.

The AAP has already announced candidates for all 70 seats, while the Congress and BJP have named candidates for 48 and 29 seats, respectively.
