Winning Delhi crucial to Modi-Shah plan

The Hindu  

The induction of former anti-corruption crusaders and Anna Hazare team members – retired police officer Kiran Bedi and former journalist Shazia Ilmi – into the Bharatiya Janata Party has increased the unrest in the party’s Delhi unit. Yet, the party’s top leadership has decided to persist with pitching Bedi against Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal keeping the disproportionate importance of the Delhi Assembly elections results in its larger Narendra Modi-Amit Shah plan of capturing power in the States. The BJP has allowed Ms. Bedi – Mr. Kejriwal’s fellow crusader in Hazare’s anti-corruption movement – to project herself as a potential chief ministerial candidate from the time she met the Prime Minister and was inducted into the party by Mr. Shah on Thursday, as part of its strategy to counter Mr. Kejriwal. The leadership will do what is best for everyone.” He admitted that the party would not want to forgo the “advantage of fighting under Modiji’s leadership.” Though Delhi is a small and partial State, the Assembly election here enjoys a disproportionate share in the overall perception battle that the Modi-Shah combine has been winning in other State elections since May 2014. “After Modi’s rally failed in Delhi, the BJP had to import Kiran Bedi and Shazia,” Congress campaign committee chief Ajay Maken said.
