Aam Aadmi Party leader and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday expressed confidence in the party's victory in the Delhi Assembly polls, claiming that people across Delhi have made up their minds to ensure Arvind Kejriwal's victory for the fourth time.
Speaking to reporters, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann said, "I am campaigning all over Delhi...From Krishna Nagar to Rohtas Nagar, Tughlaqabad, Palam, Mehrauli, Burari, Bawana, Karol Bagh, Tilak Nagar, Hari Nagar... I went everywhere. Everyone is saying 'abki baar Kejriwal' and 'fourth time Kejriwal'..." Mann also took a dig at the BJP stating, "On one side some people want to fight and on the other side, some want to study. People will vote on the 5th... The people of Delhi know everything. We have faith in the people." Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday participated in an election campaign in support of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Atishi, who is contesting from the Kalkaji constituency ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Speaking at the campaign, Atishi highlighted the achievements of AAP over the past 10 years. "Today, there is electricity around the clock in Delhi. Do you ever see power cuts in Delhi? The conditions of schools have improved here. If the BJP comes to rule, the condition of these schools will fall back to zero. Ask the people about the condition of the schools where BJP is ruling. You all are getting free medication and treatment at the Mohalla clinics today. If BJP would have been there, this would not have been..." Atishi said at the campaign. She further urged voters to make a careful decision, warning that an incorrect vote could not be undone. "Five years ago, you voted for us. If we vote for the wrong person, we cannot undo the decision. They (BJP) are distributing money and liquor. If they will distribute money, will you take it? Take money from BJP, but only vote for AAP..." she further added. As the assembly elections inch closer, the poll battle in the national capital has also intensified, with the three parties--AAP, BJP, and Congress--levelling allegations against each other. Delhi will go for polls in a single phase on February 5, while the counting of votes will take place on February 8. The Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seat. In contrast, the AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got only eight seats. (ANI)
