The last day of campaigning saw a final flurry of political activities, as all political parties made sure to make their presence felt before the polling day. With the campaigning officially over, the focus now shifts to the voters, who will make their decision on February 5, determining the next government in the national capital.
AAP, Congress, BJP woo voters
The Congress launched a sharp attack on the BJP and ruling AAP on the final day of campaigning for the Delhi Assembly elections, presenting itself as the only viable alternative and pledging to restore Delhi’s glory witnessed under the late Sheila Dikshit’s leadership. Senior Congress leaders made a last-ditch effort to woo voters, holding a press conference where they attacked the Kejriwal-led government over alleged governance failures, mismanagement of funds and corruption. They also accused the BJP of suppressing opposition-ruled states and neglecting the concerns of Delhi’s marginalised communities.
Union Minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party, calling Arvind Kejriwal a “goon” who committed “hooliganism” by cheating the poor and giving them dirty water. “There is no bigger goon in Delhi than Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal committed ‘gundagardi’ (hooliganism) by cheating the poor and giving them dirty water. Arvind Kejriwal has been doing ‘gundagardi’ with the people of Delhi for the last ten years, there is no bigger ‘gunda’ (goon) than him.”
Meanwhile, AAP leader Manish Sisodia hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly using “threats” and “hooliganism” ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. Sisodia then claimed that the public would answer the BJP’s actions through their votes and re-elect Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister. Kejriwal also accused the BJP of planning a conspiracy ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. He alleged that the party would misuse the Delhi Police and its party workers would deceive voters by posing as personnel from the Election Commission of India.
