With Delhi Assembly election approaching, the political landscape is also heating up.
00:16
Today we are joined by a very senior leader from Indian National Congress to discuss the
00:22
challenges and reason behind BJP's absence in power in Delhi elections for almost three
00:27
decades.
00:28
I want to ask why BJP has struggled in winning Delhi Assembly seats despite winning all seven
00:36
seats in Lok Sabha elections?
00:38
There are reasons.
00:41
Earlier BJP was very strong in Delhi when Vaishya and Punjabis were in majority or were
00:52
in dominant position.
00:54
But with the space of time, their number has been overnumbered, outnumbered by influx from
01:06
UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan.
01:11
So thus their population has increased.
01:16
They come here for job, come here for coaching, education and various other opportunities.
01:26
That's one thing.
01:28
Second thing is that normally common people, rural people, common people do not vote for
01:39
BJP.
01:42
And the composition of population of Delhi very late has been like this.
01:49
And thirdly that Muslims and Dalits, their number has increased many fold.
01:55
So they also don't vote for BJP.
01:58
That is also reason.
01:59
They think that it is a party of rich people and communal party.
02:09
And also the reason is that people here are for to earn bread and butter, not to indulge
02:18
in politics.
02:20
So what happened that those who can mobilize them more, like free electricity, free water,
02:32
it has worked.
02:34
And free bus, etc.
02:36
That is one of the reasons.
02:38
So because of demographic change in Delhi, BJP is out.
02:43
But when it comes to Lok Sabha election, situation gets changed.
02:49
In Lok Sabha election, local party, Aam Aadmi Party is not directly an alternative to BJP.
02:57
It's Congress which is an alternative to BJP.
03:01
So what happened?
03:03
The anti-BJP votes get polarized or go behind Congress.
03:10
And that is how Aam Aadmi Party doesn't perform well in Lok Sabha election.
03:16
Congress performs better than that.
03:18
And BJP is a winning party.
03:22
And BJP wins for the reason that it is a very well-organized machinery.
03:30
Any strategy Congress is planning for the Delhi Assembly elections, like to have a change
03:35
in Delhi?
03:36
Certainly.
03:37
Of course, yesterday a meeting was held at Swayalampur.
03:42
That is a very thickly populated, Muslim populated area.
03:47
And it's a huge number.
03:50
And this time we have made our social justice plans main base or main slogan.
04:01
So certainly we will do better this year.
04:06
In your opinion, why do voters not vote for BJP in Delhi Assembly elections, but in Lok
04:13
Sabha elections they want BJP in power?
04:16
What happened that Aam, local, they vote for Aam Aadmi Party not for ideology, for
04:27
the personal gain.
04:29
I said that free electricity, water, and buses, et cetera.
04:35
These are the things.
04:36
It's not that it's ideological.
04:39
BJP has ideology, Congress has ideology.
04:43
But the masses which have come from outside for bread and butter, they look for their
04:53
personal gain.
04:55
And personal gain they get from Aam Aadmi Party.
