Delhi polls: Modi magic may not work for BJP in battle against Arvind Kejriwal

As the campaigning for the crucial Delhi Assembly election has entered its last leg, every party is leaving no stones unturned to gain an edge over their rivals. Thus, battlefield Delhi between the BJP and AAP, which are the top contenders in the poll race, is getting meaner and personal with every passing day. Both the BJP and AAP are attacking each others’ chief ministerial candidates Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal, respectively, to prove themselves as a better option. But, it seems nothing is working BJP’s way as the party’s momentum has dipped in the final lap of the poll race. Like a T20 game, fortunes have switched sides from the BJP, which until recently was seen as the favourite in the national capital, to rival AAP, which is giving a neck to neck fight to the saffron surge now.

The BJP has literally used every bow in its quiver to puncture the AAP surge but all seems to be going in vain. Here we are trying to analyse what eventually happened which has shifted the BJP on the back foot.
