Desultory Congress campaign may make BJP lose again

New Indian Express  

Since 2014 Lok Sabha polls, its evident in every election in Delhi that BJP in assembly polls, with poll not being a direct referendum on the leadership of Narendra Modi, fails to touch the mark of 40 per cent votes in its favour. In 2013 polls, when the Congress had garnered about 15 percent votes, AAP got 28 seats and BJP 32, with the Congress getting eight. Whenever the Congress has contested hard in the local polls in the national Capital, be it 2017 Municipal Corporation polls or 2022 polls, it has ensured that the AAP juggernaut has been reined in. However, in national politics, polls after poll it has been proven that AAP’s participation has led to a fragmentation of the anti-incumbency votes, impacting Congress’s ability to perform strongly.
