NEW DELHI: Before Delhi polls, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has come up with a "28-point guarantee card" to lure voters with promises for a better Delhi. Delhi will vote on February 8.
The poll promises include curriculum on patriotism; 24/7 markets and shops; pilgrimage for senior citizens; incentives for farmers and much more.
The BJP is leaving no stones unturned to come back to power in the national capital.
The Delhi Assembly election has become a question of credibility for the Bharatiya Janata Party. This is the first time since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not the face of the party. The Delhi elections have completely been Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal versus Home Minister Amit Shah. Interestingly, this has happened at a time when Shah is not the party president.
The Congress on Sunday released its manifesto for Delhi polls, promising to pass a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act if elected to power.
In the last column of its manifesto, the party said that it will pass the resolution in the first session of the Delhi Assembly after the elections and will ask the Centre to withdraw the Act.
The manifesto stated: “The CAA brought by the BJP is against the basic spirit of our constitution. By February 21, 2020, the INC government will go to the Apex court and challenge the constitutional validity of the CAA under article 131.”
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) facilitates citizenship to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian minorities, who had fled persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan before December 2014. After the passage of the Act in Parliament, violence erupted in various parts of the country in which scores of people were killed. A major anti-CAA protest is also going on at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh area.
