Arvind Kejriwal on February 3 predicted that the party could win up to 55 seats out of the total 70 in the Delhi assembly election scheduled for February 5. In a roadshow in Kalkaji assembly constituency, Aam Aadmi Party's chief said that if women in Delhi put in extra effort and go out to vote in full force and persuade the men in their households to vote for the AAP as well, then the number could even cross 60.
“I appeal to my mothers and sisters to convince the male members of their families that there is nothing in the BJP. It is the party of the rich. Only Kejriwal will be useful...” Kejriwal said. "This election belongs to women... If women contribute, then we will win more than 60 seats... The AAP will win New Delhi, Jangpura and Kalkaji seats with a historic margin..." news agency ANI quoted the AAP chief as saying.
In the 2020 election, AAP maintained its dominance with 62 seats, while the BJP won 8 and the Congress failed to open its account. In 2015, AAP had swept 67 of the 70 seats at stake, leaving just three for the BJP and none for the Congress.
The fiercely contested electoral battle between the AAP, the BJP, and Congress has been defined by the unprecedented use of spoof videos, sharp political jibes, and high-decibel roadshows. The results of the Delhi assembly election will be announced on February 8.
