Beech Bahas: Is re-election the only option for Delhi?
- 5 years ago
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said the BJP was avoiding elections in Delhi as it was scared of losing. "We will win Delhi for sure but the question is whether the BJP wants elections to be held," Kejriwal said during an interaction with Aam Aadmi Party volunteers on Google Hangout.
The former Delhi chief minister alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was trying to break away Congress legislators in its bid to form the government in Delhi.
"If the (Narendra) Modi wave is there, then why is the BJP scared of elections?" he asked. Kejriwal said the BJP conducted an internal survey in which it was revealed that the AAP will win if assembly elections were held now.
Delhi has been under suspended animation for four months now, after the AAP government quit after ruling the capital for 49 days. No party in the capital has staked claim to form the government and this might pave the way for fresh elections.
Kejriwal had also said that the party should not contest assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra. He said, "The Aam Aadmi Party should not fight Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections. We should use all resources and volunteers in Delhi."
Polls are slated in Haryana and Maharashtra later this year, while Delhi has been under presidential rule since Feb 17 after Kejriwal resigned as the chief minister over the stalling of the Jan Lokpal bill in the assembly.
In the Lok Sabha elections, it was a disaster for AAP. While in Haryana, none of its 10 candidates could get 100,000 votes and lost their security deposit, Maharashtra was no better with the party losing all 28 Lok Sabha seats it contested out of the state's 48. In Delhi too, the AAP failed to win even a single seat. However, it stood second in all the seven seats.
