BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday said the Aam Aadmi Party was “fighting for political survival” in Delhi. Speaking to party workers, Shah said the AAP would be rejected by the voters of Delhi in the February 7 Assembly polls as its position was “very weak”. “What can the AAP teach us which is fighting for its own political survival in these elections. Its position is very weak in many constituencies,” Shah said.
“We know the mood of the people of Delhi and I have full confidence that we will take forward the journey of BJP’s victory under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added. Shah further said every worker of the BJP should work extra hard till February 7 when the city goes to the polls.
Shah also exhorted party workers to put up an all-out fight in the upcoming Delhi polls to ensure grand victory for the party that would make it “invincible for the next 25 years”. The BJP chief said the party must win the polls to continue its “victory march” after its win in Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Haryana, and impressive performance in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly polls.
“There are several crucial reasons to win Delhi elections because there is Narendra Modi’s leadership. We have a big organisation and the trust of the people the BJP-led Government has received in the last seven months,” he said.
Asking booth in-charges and Panna Pramukhs to go door-to -door seeking people’s support, he said for the party, it would not be just an election but will be a kind of “mission”. “The booth in-charges and Panna Pramukhs will have to play a major role in ensuring a historic victory. After winning all seven seats in the lok Sabha polls, we have got to know about the people’s mood,” he said.
“We do not want to see this victory in terms of just elections. This election will make the party strong so that nobody can defeat us in the next 25 years,” Shah said, addressing the meeting at Pushp Vihar. Another scheduled meeting of Shah in South Delhi’s Saket area was cancelled as permission for it was not given by the district administration.
