Ahead of Delhi Assembly polls, Hauz Qazi incident exposes AAP's poor grasp over minority votes; communal tension may damage party's chances

Firstpost  

The incident in Delhi’s Chawri area could be a political turning point. Cabinet Minister and Delhi BJP leader Harsh Vardhan visited the area the next day and assured the locals that those who have vandalised the temple won’t be spared. In Seelampur, AAP’s Haji Ishraq defeated veteran Congress leader Chaudhary Mateen Ahmed who was elected to the Delhi Legislative Assembly for the first time in 1993 from Seelampur constituency in Delhi under Janata Dal, defeating Jai Kishan Dass Gupta of the BJP by 1,438 votes. Before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was seen campaigning aggressively in Muslim-dominated areas after which the BJP’s Delhi Unit demanded that special observers be appointed to watch over mosques to prevent any attempt to influence voters on religious lines. Speaking to Firstpost, AAP’s Amanatullah Khan offered a rebuttal and said that the pushing of Delhi elections to the seventh phase during Ramzan was a move to dissuade Muslim vote.
