The victory of India's Common Man Party in Delhi elections proves that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sectarian campaign rhetoric failed to yield any benefits Opinion | jatingandhi
The Aam Aadmi Party or Common Man's Party delivered a decisive blow to the political giant and India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the New Delhi state elections on Tuesday.
More significantly, the incumbent party is returning home victorious after handing out a crushing defeat to the BJP’s anti-Muslim and anti-secularism discourse built on the foundation of an amended citizenship law that offers citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim refugees from the neighbouring countries.
The party ran a parallel personality-centric campaign propelling Kejriwal into the centre stage and pitching him as the leader of the common man. With the economy struggling with a massive slowdown, unemployment mounting, protests against the CAA and a series of defeats in state elections for the BJP taking some sheen off Modi, Kejriwal and his party have been able to present the Delhi model of development as the best alternative for the state.
