The New Delhi assembly constituency is one of the key seats of upcoming polls in the National Capital which is scheduled to be held in a single phase on February 5. The leading Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) fielded former Delhi Chief Minister and national convener Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi assembly seat challenged by BJP leader and two-time MP Parvesh Verma, a prominent Jat face in the national capital,
From the last two teams, AAP’s Kejriwal is securing this seat but this seems like this is going to be a tough competition as BJP candidate Parvesh Verma doing a strong campaign and hitting out at AAP with multiple statements. On Thursday, a BJP leader slammed Kejriwal and said that the former Chief Minister never visited any village and didn’t allow any villager of Delhi to enter his ‘Sheesh Mahal’.
“This is the same Arvind Kejriwal who never allowed people from even one village of Delhi to enter his ‘Sheesh Mahal.’ This is the same Arvind Kejriwal who never visited any village to date over any issue,” Verma said, PTI reported.
Meanwhile, AAP has claimed that Verma will become CM if BJP is voted into power. “According to sources, BJP is going to declare Parvesh Verma as its CM face. Will the people of Delhi want to make such a person their CM?” Kejriwal said.
