Jan 25, 2025

New Delhi [India], January 25 : After the BJP released its final manifesto for the forthcoming Delhi Assembly polls, AAP candidate from Greater Kailash Assembly seat, Saurabh Bharadwaj, claimed that the BJP's campaign is crumbling as they have no narrative.
Speaking to ANI, Bharadwaj claimed that the overall leadership of the BJP is confused.
"As a politician, I have watched BJP in three Delhi elections. They contested in 2013, 2015 and 2020. This is the 4th Delhi Assembly elections. For the first time, I am seeing an unorganised campaign of BJP like never before. Their campaign is crumbling. They have no narrative. Overall leadership is confused. Biggest of all, they are unable to project anything big to the people of Delhi as to what they would do if they came to power. They are making tall claims. They should tell practical things to the people of Delhi," he said.
AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, "BJP has released their Sankalp Patra in three seasons. Hopefully, this one will be the finale. He talked about de-sealing shops. They are the ones who are not allowing shops to be opened. The ones that have already opened, are seeing firing in front of their shops and they are even receiving extortion calls. He should have announced something on this and also addressed the law and order situation in Delhi."
"If they can really provide as many jobs as they have promised, they have 20 states under their control. Why don't they provide these jobs in those states? Delhi has the lowest unemployment... 7700 buses are already running in Delhi, which is the highest fleet. We have planned to make them 100% electric by the end of this year. Work is already going on," the AAP leader added.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched the third part of the BJP manifesto for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, scheduled for February 5. The party has announced several promises, ranging from granting ownership rights to people in refugee colonies to reopening 13,000 sealed shops in the national capital.
Addressing the event, Amit Shah said, "Modi ji has announced the granting of ownership rights to more than 1,700 unauthorized colonies. Previously, these colonies did not have permission for construction, buying, or selling. Now, by granting them full ownership rights and aligning with the Ministry of Housing's regulations and Delhi's by-laws, we will give them the right to construct and sell."
"13,000 shops in Delhi are sealed, and we have worked with lawyers to find a legal path to reopen them. We will create a judicial authority and reopen these shops within six months to resume operations. Refugee colonies that have been established since 1947, such as Rajendra Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, and Kingsway Camp, currently have people on lease; they cannot sell or buy the land. We will grant ownership rights to all these refugees who have land on lease in these colonies in the first Cabinet meeting," Shah added.
