High-pitched campaign in Delhi ends, vote tomorrow

seen so far was only a work in progress, and needed to be carried forward.

The BJP, which has put its full might to return to power in the city after 22 years, ended the campaign by appealing to voters to vote for the country's security and good governance. Exuding confidence, Mr Shah, who led the party's campaign from the front, claimed the BJP was going to form the state government by winning more than 45 seats. In 2015, the AAP had swept the polls by winning 67 of the Assembly’s 70 seats. The BJP had won three seats and the Congress was not able to retain even a single constirtuency despite being in power for 15 consecutive years.

Addressing three roadshows, Mr Shah alleged that the antiCAA protests at Shaheen Bagh was a “joint venture” of the AAP and the Congress and claimed that the "tukde-tukde gang" would get a “shock” when the election results were declared on February 11. He said the BJP would emerge victorious in the election as the people will vote for country's security, development and good governance.

Amid chants of “Jai Shri Ram” at his roadshow in Hari Nagar, a group of BJP supporters also raised “goli maaro” slogans. However, policemen asked them to stop. Mr Shah said: “Kejriwal and (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi are worried that Shaheen Bagh should not be discussed. I want to ask them why the security of the country should not be an electoral issue?”

Sure of his party's success in the Assembly polls, Congress media in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala said: “Some news channels were giving us just two seats in Haryana, but we won 31. It is going to happen again.”

Terming the BJP, which is in power at the Centre, and the ruling AAP in Delhi as “Jhoothon ki Sarkar aur Jhoothon ke Sardar”, Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra accused them of failing in areas of health, pollution mitigation, education, drinking water supply.
