Prime Minister Modis vijay yatra is continuing from where it had left off in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections last month. the BJP, riding high on Modi’s popularity, is witnessing a surge in its vote share in the Capital Delhi.
After winning the Rajouri Garden assembly by-polls by a huge margin, the party is gaining in every corner of the Capital according to all the exit polls. The only explanation for the victory will be Brand Modi. The party took a hard decision to dump its sitting Councillors and field fresh faces.BJP could get majority in the MCD elections. APP and Kejriwal will lose the support at the ground level.
The Modi- Shah combination at the BJP’s helm can take credit for the success .”Like AAP, the picture for the Congress party is not rosy, either. The party cadre could have some reason to cheer as it may increase its vote share across the three corporations, as compared to the less than 10% votes it received in 2015 assembly elections.
The congress earlier failed to even open its account AAP’s rout in MCD polls, as predicted by the exit polls, will also be a personal setback to Kejriwal as the party had put Brand Kejriwal vs Brand Modi, describing the Prime Minister as the only lifeline for the BJP’s alleged misrule in the MCD.
The MCD acronym had been expanded by the AAP leadership to mean ‘Most Corrupt Department’ in recent weeks as they pushed to take control of Delhi’s local governance. But the exit polls suggest that AAP and Congress are fighting neck-and-neck for a very distant second spot.
Kejriwal, who was positioning himself as a challenger to Modi by taking him on directly in public discourse, will have to ask himself some uncomfortable questions about how a city he has mesmerized in 2015 is so decisively swinging away from him and his anti-politics plank.
