New Delhi: Sandeep Dikshit, the Congress candidate for the New Delhi Assembly seat, said on Saturday that he is unaware of any potential coalition between his party and the Aam Aadmi Party after the election since that is up to the high command.
“I don’t know anything about the alliance,” Dikshit told the media report. The high leadership has the last say on the matter. Permit the votes to be counted.
In the meanwhile, the Delhi election vote count began at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
The majority of exit polls published on Wednesday gave the BJP a lead over the AAP. Exit polls, according to AAP officials, have typically understated the party’s success. They said they were certain they could regain power.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP campaign attacked the AAP for renovating Arvind Kejriwal’s home while he was chief minister and for allegedly contaminating the Yamuna River.
The PM also criticized Kejriwal by using the names “Aapda” and “Sheesh Mahal.”.
In the meanwhile, the AAP emphasized its “performance” throughout its 11-year stint in the education sector. The BJP would “stop the free education” if it took power, according to Kejriwal.
Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP and the Lok Sabha’s Leader of the Opposition, also attended rallies and attacked Kejriwal and prominent AAP figure Manish Sisodia for their suspected involvement in the Delhi excise policy “scam” case.
Every security measure has been implemented. On February 5, voting for the 70-member Assembly took place, and 60.54 percent of voters cast ballots.
AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is running against Congressman Sandeep Dikshit and BJP candidate Parvesh Verma in New Delhi, one of the key seats.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi is up against Alka Lamba of the Congress and Ramesh Bidhuri of the BJP. The heads of the three parties engaged in acrimonious disputes throughout the campaign.
The Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years in a row, has lost both of the most recent Assembly elections and has not been able to secure any seats.
Delhi’s past two Assembly elections were dominated by the AAP, but after more than 20 years, the BJP is hoping to reverse the trend and regain control of the nation’s capital.
