Will the BJP Make a Comeback in Delhi After 27 Years?
The HinduPublished : Jan 11, 2025 21:48 IST - 8 MINS READ Days ahead of the announcement of the Delhi Assembly election date, there were speculations whether the BJP would project a chief ministerial face. This points to the BJP’s failure to nurture a leader in New Delhi to take on AAP’s national convenor and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The BJP’s dependence on Modi in its bid to win in New Delhi shows that the party is hopeful of tapping into the support it got from the electorate in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. The BJP leaders believe that the anti-incumbency factor against the AAP government and the allegations of corruption against the party’s top leaders, including Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, will result in the capital following the same voting pattern as in the Lok Sabha election. Highlights BJP has chosen Prime Minister Modi as its primary campaigner for the Delhi Assembly election, highlighting the party’s lack of strong local leadership against AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal.
