Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that his party is in straight contest with the BJP in the coming Delhi polls as the Congress has lost its presence in the national capital.
“Last time they (Congress and BJP) took us lightly, every one, including media, showed that we will get two or three seats.... No one expected that we will win so many number of seats, no one expected that we would form the government, but this time things have changed in Delhi,” Mr Kejriwal said.
Speaking at an event on the topic Delhi elections: Opportunities and Possibilities Of Alternative Politics, he said “Congress doesn’t have any presence, there is straight fight between the AAP and the BJP.”
“BJP is fighting and winning elections one after the other Lok Sabha, Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand... But coming to Delhi they are feeling breathless....” he added.
Mr Kejriwal told his supporters, “I have come from Delhi with a message that the AAP is winning Delhi elections, and it is winning with huge majority. You have got a sample of it during the BJP rally in Delhi yesterday, where they expected over one lakh people to attend, but media has reported that less than 30,000 people had gathered there.”
Mr Arvind Kejriwal was in the city to attend a fund-raising lunch organised by AAP-Karnataka called “Lunch with Arvind”, where donors with a minimumf contribution of Rs 20,000 were allowed to book their passes for the event.
