This is Hemendra Jha. Day 31 of October, 2013 The fight for Delhi in 2013 will get more intense after the day of Diwali. Both the Congress and the BJP will go through the process of narrowing down the list of candidates that will be picked to run for the Assembly Elections. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is led by Arvind Kejriwal, has already finished selecting candidates for 65 of the 70 seats that it plans to run for. Dr. Harsh Vardhan has been selected as the candidate for the position of Chief Minister by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Given that this elevation for the Chief Minister role for Dr. Harsh Vardhan would assist the party in combating the anti-corruption and anti-incumbency campaign of the AAP in the Capital, this decision over Mr. Vijay Goel looks to be a logical one. Not only would a victory in Delhi be significant for the Congress and the BJP, but it will also be significant for the AAP for symbolic reasons. In contrast to the manner that the BJP and Congress would depict it with the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, the AAP will use it as a means to expand and become a national party for itself. It has been forecast by the majority of opinion surveys that Delhi would have a hung legislature. There is a possibility that the BJP may get between 26 and 29 seats, the Congress party may receive between 25 and 26 seats, and the AAP is hoping to secure between 12 and 14 seats. One to three seats might be reserved for other individuals. When compared to what they did in 2008, it is rather unexpected that the BSP, which is led by Mayawati, has not stepped in thus far. In India’s West Bengal assembly elections, Jyoti Basu is the only Chief Minister who has ever won a record number of four consecutive terms. This accomplishment is exclusive to her. If Sheila Dixit is successful in leading the Congress party to a victory in Delhi for a fourth term, she will demonstrate that she played a significant role in transforming the appearance of Delhi by implementing a number of initiatives that were led by the government for the purpose of development work. As a summary, the following are some of the shocks that the Delhi Assembly Elections, which are scheduled to take place the next month: 1.Congress may not be able to secure a majority, but it is still possible for them to form a government. This is because the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will not back the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and it is highly likely that they will abstain from voting on the floor. This will allow a party with around 28-29 seats to form the next government in the state of Delhi. 2. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is supporting Narendra Modi’s ascension to the position of Prime Minister candidate in order to influence voters in Delhi. The fact that he was able to draw a sizable audience to the Namo event in Rohini is evidence of the fact that voter support for him is widespread in Delhi. 3. The anti-Congress vote is showing a significant amount of division between the AAP and the BJP. It is without a doubt going to be beneficial to Congress. The combination of the lower class vote bank of Congress and the Muslim vote bank has the potential to work miracles for Sheila in December of 2013. There are 4.16 seats in Delhi that have a substantial migrant population, and these constituencies will be vital and critical for all parties. So, will the aspect of class continue to be important? In December of 2013, the elections for the Delhi Assembly will take place, and we must all wait and watch to see the results.
