With Delhi Assembly polls scheduled to be held on 8 February, the top leadership of the BJP has sharpened its attack on the Congress and AAP over the anti-CAA protest at Shaheen Bagh.
Union minister Amit Shah, who is leading the BJP's Delhi campaign, challenged CM Arvind Kejriwal to 'go and sit' with the protesters of Shaheen Bagh and 'let Delhi decide'.
While demonstrations in Etawah, Varanasi, Aligarh and Rae Bareli have been forcibly ended by shutting down protest grounds, they continue in Lucknow and Prayagraj.

While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
BJP is unable to any worthwhile issue to take on AAP led AK. MCD is under BJP and if they have done good in places under corporation, they can win. It looks like they have not done good work to impress voters and therefore non issues are being hyped. There is likely in the up coming Budget, there is likely to be some Delhi centric lollypop and personal tax of individuals. With Central government babus and other MC, the vote can probably tilt in theire favour.
Dear Nagarajan, blocking of a major arterial road and putting lakhs of commuters to severe inconvenience may not seem like a ‘worthwhile issue’ to you, but to me its a blot on democratic rights of other citizens. Its sheer lawlessness.
If inconvenience is really so severe, and there really isn’t any alternate or parallel route available, then isn’t it severely irresponsible on the part of union home minister that he has till date taken no initiative to clear the bottle neck? Has he asked any representatives of Shaheen Bagh to talk to any government representative, or has he sent any such representative to Shaheen Bagh? Does it reflect a total disregard for the institution of Democracy which fully allows peaceful protests?
Are you aware that shaheen bagh ‘peaceful demonstrators’ are not willing to talk to anyone anymore? They are in fact thrashing senior journalists from any channel they find asking uncomfortable questions. When anyone asks them whats the problem with CAA, they reply Modi is hitler and noteban was bad. A group which is not willing to enter into a dialogue because they have nothing to say. Just brainwashed, hate filled zombies.
Still time for BJP to win if they remove father ,mother, dada dadi,nana,nami name from NPR ,no body wants see double meaning ,voluntary, not collected document, not asking documents, if you want to place of birth, 50 year back people are backward un educated they not under stand double meaning .BJP can not make fool now. First delete all these question than talk about Shaheen bag
Modi, Amit Shah and BJP are desperate as far as Delhi election is concerned because nothing is working. They’re trying rake up Shaheen Bagh protests as a big election issue, but it seems AAP is not falling into the trap and the public seems to ignore those protests. That’s making Shah and Modi angrier and more and more hopeless.
ThePrint journalists love to accuse BJP and Modi and are employing all possible means to discredit Amit Shah. However, I am not sure if their efforts are worth investing in anti-Modi propaganda.
Shaheen Bagh may be the polarising point BJP was looking for but citizens of Delhi need not decide to vote on that basis. Here is one election where we can vote on the basis of good work done – let us do it!! maybe it will set a good example to others. Imagine all elections being fought on issues of education, health, water, electricity, transport… ideology or no ideology, India will look different!
So when bJP wins election was fought on ‘polarising’ issues OR EVM was faulty. When any party that You like wins, its fought on education, water & electricity. Please have some semblance of objectivity. As much as Nationalism, BJP won 2019 with ujjwala, Jan Dhan, Demonetisation, Ayushmann bharat..Your guru shekhar gupta was forced to share his experiences in a post BJP victory video he posted on this website. Go through that video, and for heavens sake – be truthful. You lose some, you win some.
Majority of Hindus are in agreement with the concerns espoused by Shaheen Bagh type of protests. Otherwise, the BJP would have long ago mobilized mammoth pro-CAA rallies in Delhi and other parts of India.
Have you done some survey which proves ‘majority of hindus are in agreement with anti CAA protests’? I say majority of Hindus are in agreement with BJP. I am one. By the way BJP has mobilized mammoth rallies and has received tremendous support. Its just that Congress ecosystem media doesnt highlight the same. The PM even made a statement to this effect recently. Anyway, the barometer of public’s happiness or unhappiness with a leader & his policies is a lok sabha election, which will now take place in 2024. Till then You can refer to 2014& 2019 to make more informed statements. Dont shoot from the hip like you have done above.
One is not sure this is a winning strategy. Either in Delhi, with its educated, relatively well off citizens, the nub / hub of national media, or even in other parts of the country. India has a lot of poor or lower middle class people, today household consumption is collapsing. Electoral disappointments are getting baked into the cake.
Aap will get 70 seat and BJP zero
Arvind kejriwal is winning the election.
