During the election campaign, the AAP and the BJP have attacked each other on various issues, including corruption. AAP senior leader Raghav Chadha on Friday accused BJP of ruling the three metropolitan areas and turning the city into garbage.
At a road show in Trilokpuri, senior BJP leader Bhupendra Yadav said the Kejriwal government was acting on advertisements and false promises. Defeat of ‘AAP’ candidates in by-election is certain. Northeastern Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari, who was with him, alleged that all three wards won by AAP councilors at the EDMC were in a trash heap. At a march in Kalyanpuri, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta said the party would win in all five wards.
Congress leaders appealed to Delhi to vote for party candidates in the by-election on Sunday. Shakti Singh Gohil, who is in charge of the Congress Delhi unit, said the Congress candidates were getting overwhelming support at public meetings, road shows and hiking, giving a clear indication of what wind was blowing. He accused Delhi of betrayal by the BJP and the AAP.
