NEW DELHI: War of words ensued between AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal and BJP’s Smriti Irani after Kejriwal posted a tweet which Irani deemed anti-women.
Kejriwal had tweeted, “Please go out and vote today. I specially appeal to the women that just as you uphold responsibilities of your house, you also have to shoulder responsibilities of the country and Delhi. The women must go out and vote and please take the men in your house alongwith you to vote. Please do discuss with men whom it would be better to vote for.”
Irani retorted by tweeted, “Do you not consider women capable enough to decide for themselves who to vote for?"
Kejriwal did not let it go, so he tweeted, “ Smriti ji, the women of Delhi have decided who to vote for. And this time in Delhi, women have decided on behalf of their family. After all they have to take care of their homes.”

Just before the 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 is leaving no stones unturned to come back to power in the national capital.
The Delhi Assembly election has become a question of credibility for the Bharatiya Janata Party. This is the first time since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is 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 on Sunday released its manifesto for Delhi polls, promising to pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act if elected to power.
