Delhi Assembly election results today: Look back at vicious high-octane campaigns run by AAP, BJP, Congress

Firstpost  

Overall, this may well have been the most acrimonious and vicious campaign Delhi has ever seen as politicians stooped to new lows to grab power. A live tracker by CVoter indeed showed that towards the end of the campaign, the BJP appeared to be giving the AAP a run for its money, but that the late surge may not be enough to oust the incumbent government The Congress fielded its leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to attack the AAP and the BJP; the saffron party partly relied on prime minister’s speeches in both Houses of Parliament to reach out to the voters and partly entrusted Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi BJP leaders to lead the charge and AAP, on the other hand, trusted Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia to hold the fort. Campaign gets dirty in Delhi BJP ups nationalistic fervour, turns to Shaheen Bagh to polarise elections Looking to capture power after a gap of 22 years, the BJP mounted its one of the most aggressive campaigns in the Delhi Assembly polls so far, with Shah leading the saffron charge fuelled by its planks of Hindutva and nationalism, and its strident opposition to anti-CAA protest in Shaheen Bagh. The BJP turned the heat on its rivals, primarily the AAP, over the Shaheen Bagh protests, and its leaders are of the view that their strong stand against the protestors have put the party in the reckoning for power in the National Capital after it appeared to be “down and out” only months back. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked BJP leaders, saying their character can be defined by the kind of slogans they raise and claimed that the AAP was copying former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit’s development model.
