Aakhir Tak – In Depth

AAP’s Aggressive Campaign Strategy
As the Delhi Assembly elections near, AAP has ramped up its attack with a controversial new poster. The poster features Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, labeling him “dishonest” alongside figures like PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. This is the first instance of Rahul Gandhi’s image prominently appearing in AAP’s campaign.

Rahul Gandhi Strikes Back
Responding to the attack, Rahul Gandhi accused AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal of prioritizing propaganda over real governance. Gandhi highlighted issues such as rising pollution, corruption, and inflation, claiming Kejriwal’s governance model pales in comparison to Sheila Dikshit’s tenure.

Political Dynamics in the INDIA Bloc
Though AAP and Congress are allies in the INDIA bloc, the two are contesting the Delhi elections independently. This rivalry has strained their relationship, with AAP dismissing Congress as irrelevant in Delhi’s political landscape. Meanwhile, Congress accused AAP of colluding with the BJP to weaken opposition unity.

BJP Joins the Fray
The BJP has also intensified its offensive, dubbing AAP a “disaster” through its social media campaign. The party’s latest poster accuses AAP of harboring criminals and gangsters, urging voters to reject the ruling party on election day.

High Stakes for Delhi Elections
Scheduled for February 5, the Delhi elections are shaping up as a triangular battle between AAP, BJP, and Congress. With AAP framing the contest as a fight for “honest governance” against “failures” of national parties, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
