Before Delhi polls, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had come up with a “28-point guarantee card” to lure voters with promises for a better Delhi. The poll promises include curriculum on patriotism; 24/7 markets and shops; pilgrimage for senior citizens; incentives for farmers and much more.
The BJP had also left no stones unturned to come back to power in the national capital.
The Delhi Assembly election had become a question of credibility for the Bharatiya Janata Party. This was the first time since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not the face of the party. The Delhi elections have completely been Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal versus Home Minister Amit Shah. Interestingly, this has happened at a time when Shah is not the party president.
The Congress also released its manifesto for Delhi polls, promising to pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act if elected to power.
