As counting of votes is underway for the Delhi Assembly polls, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from the Moti Nagar constituency Harish Khurana on Saturday exuded confidence in his party winning more than 50 seats out of 70 members in the legislature in the national capital.
Launching an attack on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, he said that the former Delhi CM, instead of resolving Delhi's problems, was "dilly-dallying" with the politics of allegations and accusations. "BJP candidate from Moti Nagar constituency Harish Khurana said, "The way we are getting the response from the people, not just in Moti Nagar but in entire Delhi, BJP is going to win with more than 50 seats. The people were facing issues but instead of answering their questions, Arvind Kejriwal and his gang were dilly-dallying with the politics of allegations and accusations. Their attempts have failed." He asserted that BJP will return to power in Delhi after 27 years. The counting of votes in Delhi is underway for the 70-member Assembly, for which the election was held on February 5. As per the early trends, BJP is leading in 37 seats, whereas the ruling AAP is in 22 seats and Congress is in one Assembly seat. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi on Saturday exuded confidence in her party's victory in the Delhi Assembly elections and affirmed that the people of Delhi, including those from her constituency Kalkaji, would support AAP and re-elect Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with a huge mandate. Projecting a sweeping victory for AAP, she said that the party's national Convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, will become the Chief Minister of Delhi for the fourth time with a huge majority. Speaking to the media outside her residence on Saturday, Atishi said, "This has not been an ordinary election; it has been a fight between the good and evil, a fight between work and gundagardi (hooliganism). I have high hopes that the people of Kalkaji constituency and the entire state of Delhi will stand up with the party that has worked and will stand up with Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal." "Arvind Kejriwal will become the Chief Minister of Delhi for the fourth time with a huge majority," she added. (ANI)
