Pitted against a development centric campaign by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the BJP in Delhi is leaning heavily on its organisational muscle and Hindutva, especially banking on communal mobilisation in the wake of protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Shaheen Bagh, to improve on its dismal tally of just three seats in the 70member Assembly.
The BJP does not have a chief ministerial candidate against Arvind Kejriwal who, in different opinion polls, has emerged as the most popular choice for the post. The party’s campaign is thus being chiefly organised by the central leadership with both Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda holding rallies and padyatras through the city. Simultaneously, all Delhi MPs, including the Delhi unit President Manoj Tiwari, are involved in ‘carpet-bombing’ the city with a staggering 700 small and large meetings in a day.
