Wresting power in Delhi from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is no less than a 'do or die' battle for the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). In its quest to get into the players' building, the BJP is leaving no stone unturned and the party has planned a strategy with tactics, multiple meetings of party workers with the top brass and surveying each Vidhan Sabha constituency to get public views and submitting it to parliamentarians are few steps which showed the party is working aggressively to achieve its victory.
Talking to The Pioneer, senior BJP leader said that our focus is very clear because we know the target. "Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) itself has given hint. They always say we are elected Government with majority, so we know the target, means chances are very likely that AAP will repeat its maximum candidates, on contrary, AAP wants from us to exhibit Chief Ministerial candidate.., but we believe in one thing strategy without tactics is the slowest route to the victory, three names from each constituency have been given to Central leadership for MLA seat, Election Commission announced the dates of election - Feb 8th, the MLA list is expected to release after 15th -16th, (Makar Sakranti)" said a BJP leader
When asked about the release of MLA list as Election Commission (EC) has announced Delhi poll date which is February 8th, the BJP leader said, "Party is working on this and meetings are going on," "MLA's name for 70 Assembly seats will be announced on 15th or 16th."
Pertinently, on Sunday , Union Minister Amit Shah in a rally to address party booth workers on Sunday had said that Kejriwal has failed to fulfill its promises about opening of new schools, health and infrastructure whereas replying to Shah , Kejriwal asked BJP to give suggestions on Delhi, the AAP is ready to implement in its next tenure.
On one side AAP is vouching for its next tenure claiming better health and education for Delhi, however, BJP has prepared an insight on Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) and other National issues and gearing up AAP on public health issue - Air and Water pollution.
Top sources in Central command told that BJP has prepared small group of its workers which will visit Universities. "College students are young and it is required to make them understand what CAA is ? These students will become the part of administration and other pivotal services in near future," said a leader.
"Our leaders will go Universities, homes and other areas convey people about the act ," Our major focus in Delhi is - regularisation of unathorised colonies," said BJP leader. "After the intervention of Central Government, Delhi people will soon have registry of their home.. after registration process, the price of their property will shoot up," said a BJP worker adding that "What is the first requirement of aam (common man), a roof first, then other amenities, and BJP is dedicated with Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojna," "Our target is clear and we will achieve with big victory.
It may be recalled that BJP was voted out of power in 1998 and since then it had failed to regain power. Congress had a 15 year old long run under Sheila Dikshit and after her crushing defeat in 2013 and 2015, it has been Arvind Kejriwal led AAP that has occupied Players Building.
