Worn off campaign shoes sum up Kejriwal slayer Parvesh Verma's gritty win

India Today  

Till 1998, the last time the BJP was in power in Delhi, the city did not have a metro rail service or expansive flyovers. And he proved it so on February 8, defeating Kejriwal, the three-time Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo, by a margin of 4,000 votes, earning the moniker of ‘giant slayer’. As the election verdict kept bringing supporters to his home on February 8, Verma did two things first—offer prayers at the revered Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place and then go and meet Union home minister Amit Shah. But in Delhi, the money does not go towards development,” said Verma, alluding to corruption under AAP’s governance—a narrative he looks determined to pursue. “The first cabinet decision of the BJP government would be to set up a special investigation team to probe corruption by AAP and also scrutinse their promised sanction of Rs 2,500 every month to women,” said Verma.
