Haryana Minister Anil Vij stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win the upcoming Delhi assembly polls following the BJP-led NDA victory in the recently concluded Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections
"... Beginning with BJP victory in Haryana, the party won in Maharashtra and now it's time for Delhi... Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started the politics of development in the country...," Vij told ANI. Replying to a query, he said, "The farmers who are protesting are from AAP-ruled Punjab. AAP leaders have turned a deaf ear to their demands and issues... AAP is waiting for something bad to happen to the protesting farmers before it creates a big issue out of this." AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar termed the polls as a contest between the AAP and the BJP "I think that in Delhi - the election is between BJP and AAP. BJP will do every negative politics to win - they will distribute cash, will bring their 'B teams' - that's the reason BSP and AIMIM are contesting in Delhi...," Kakkar told ANI. The Delhi assembly polls will be held in a single phase on February 5 and the counting of votes will take place on February 8. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its campaigning for the assembly polls. A day earlier, BJP candidates targeted Arvind Kejriwal who had been jailed for his alleged role in the Delhi excise policy case and expressed confidence that the double-engine government is going to form the next government in Delhi. BJP has gone out all guns blazing and accused the AAP leaders of corruption and alleged misgovernance. The AAP eyeing a third term will go to the public boosting its "performance" in the education and the health sector. AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eight seats. (ANI)
