New election laws

Election Commission (EC) has made some important changes so that people of all ages can cast their vote easily. The new rules will allow absentee voters who are unable to reach polling stations due to different reasons of inabilities to participate in the elections. Disabled persons and senior citizens of over 80 years of age can avail the facility to exercise their franchise through postal ballot.

The Election Commission is adamant about providing pick and drive facility for all senior citizens so that they can easily cast their vote without any heckling. The Election Commission has decided to deploy 90,000 officials to conduct free and fair elections. Overall, 13,750 polling stations will be set up for Delhi polls.

Out of 70 seats in Delhi assembly, there are 58 general category seats, 12 seats are reserved for Schedule Caste (SC), and not a single seat is reserved for the Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Delhi. Apart from this, there are a total 1,46,92,136 voters in Delhi including 80.55 lakh males and 66.35 lakh females.

The tussle for govt formation

Which party will form the government in Delhi? It is a million-dollar question. At the outset, either AAP or BJP will form the next government, as far as the Congress party is concerned if it supports AAP, then this party can share power otherwise the oldest party of India will have to sit in the assembly as an opposition. The pertinent question for now is: will BJP dislodge the ruling AAP party, or AAP will once again retain the power? What would be the role of the grand old party? In the 2015 elections, the Congress party failed to open its account.

Momentum picking up

As usual, before the Delhi elections, the blame game has started, and political parties are busy in mudslinging and defaming each other. Every party wants to present itself as a prospect of development and empathy to attract the voters. At present, the country is passing through a bad phase to solve specific issues, which must be made the poll agenda. The controversial issues like National Register of Citizens (NRC), Citizenship Amendment Act, Ram Mandir, air pollution, women's safety, statehood demand for Delhi apart from this slowdown of the economy, rise of unemployment, soaring prices of essential commodities and clash in Jawahar Lal Nehru University (JNU) and Jamia Millia Islamia are the vital subjects to be raised by the political parties to entice the voters.

BJP set to dislodge AAP

The BJP is not behind; the party hosted a big rally last month at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, where prime minister Narendra Modi targeted the opposition parties over the violence of CAA in the country. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said the saffron party has emerged as an alternative in the national capital given people's growing disenchantment with the Aam Aadmi Party government.

The saffron party will also raise the issue of Ram Temple in Ayodhya to entice the voters. The prime minister himself is an excellent orator who can lure voters merely by his enchanting speeches to unseat the ruling AAP party in Delhi. But BJP needs to punch above its weight to unseat the Kejriwal-led AAP government. However, an election is a game of uncertainty like cricket. Nothing is impossible.

AAP prepares to woo voters

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to unveil his government's development work such as the Mohalla clinics, model school works, free bus services for women, changing the colour of unauthorised colony and working to make them authorised and so on. Apart from this, free and subsidised 24-hour electricity has given lots of respites, especially to the downtrodden of society. Improvement in the water supply and opening of new hospitals are the works which can fetch votes for the AAP party. Full statehood is another hot demand for AAP to function independently.

AAP ropes in poll strategist

Kejriwal has left no stone unturned and roped in poll strategist Prashant Kishore to help the party to come to power for the second consecutive time.'Ache beete paanch saal, lage raho Kejriwal',AAP launched this slogan last month to woo the Delhi voters. Kishore had played a decisive role in the Bihar assembly election. His magical strategy may change the complexion of the election results in Delhi. It is undeniable that AAP is finding itself in the comfort zone at this moment.

Congress looks optimistic

The Congress may shake hands with AAP before or after the polls. But they failed to do so in the 2019 Lok Sabha election. The grand old party is looking optimistic about getting a clear majority. The Delhi Congress has established a poll "war room" at the party office on DDU Marg. The objective behind this war room is to provide support to party candidates; volunteers are gearing up to go door to door to make contact with party workers and leaders in all the constituencies.

It seems that a fierce battle is on the cards of the contesting political parties in the upcoming Delhi polls. In 2015 elections, AAP bagged 67 seats while the BJP won just three seats and the Congress was not able to open its account. But in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP bagged all the seven seats in Delhi. In this assembly polls, the AAP is gearing up to go all out to win the confidence of the voters in Delhi. The field is wide open for the triangular contest with plenty of time left to finalize the poll strategy. But in Delhi, the real fight is between the prime minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
