As the Election Commission of India announced dates for the 18th Lok Sabha election on Saturday, all parties have officially kicked off their campaigns to woo the voters. Aam Adami Party candidate from New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, and incumbent MLA from Malviya Nagar, Somnath Bharti, claimed that the arch rival BJP will face tremendous defeat in all Delhi’s seats courtesy AAP-Congress alliance.
In an interview with The Sunday Guardian, Somnath Bharti said that the AAP-Congress alliance will come out victorious in Delhi, and the BJP also have the inclination about this. It is quite apparent from the BJP’s move of changing their mandate in Delhi. He said the BJP became hopeless as their incumbent MPs have not done any remarkable work for the betterment of Delhiites; that’s why they have introduced new faces in the general election.
