BJP on its part has promised free bicycles and scholarship to meritorious girl students in Delhi, financial aid to poor widows for daughter’s marriage, 50 kitchens offering meals for Rs 5, houses for slum dwellers with central government help, waiving off of licences for factories in authorised industrial areas and mobile app for faceless services.
The poll campaigning have been characterised by a high decibel fight between BJP and AAP, with the saffron party using AAP Minister Sayendra Jain’s jail massage videos as a campaign tool to drive public opinion on the party being corrupt and endorsing VIP culture despite claiming to be “aam aadmi”.
Despite attempting to mark its electoral presence in Himachal and Gujarat, AAP was driven back to manage their campaign and firefight on multiple fronts in Delhi by BJP.
The MCD results come a day ahead of the results of Gujarat and Himachal Assembly elections are scheduled to be declared.
