The Delhi assembly polls have taken a dramatic turn with BJP candidate Dushyant Gautam from the Karol Bagh constituency emphasizing a transformative election focused on securing essential amenities like water, air, and roads. According to Gautam, residents are driven by the need for a healthier living environment and a robust 'double-engine government.'

In stark opposition, BJP MP Arun Govil criticized AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that he makes grand unfulfilled promises. With rising stakes, BJP leader Anurag Thakur launched a vehement critique of Kejriwal, predicting a sweep against 'AAPda,' a term he coined to describe the challenges posed by AAP, as citizens demand cleaner conditions across Delhi.

The tension escalated with accusations from Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, who claims a conspiracy involving BJP and Delhi Police aims to harm AAP leader Kejriwal. This charged atmosphere underscores the stakes of the upcoming single-phase election on February 5, with 699 candidates vying for 70 Assembly seats.
