Tue Jan 07 08:49:06 UTC 2025: ## Modi Rallies Delhi Support Amidst Upcoming Elections, Targeting Kejriwal’s Governance
**New Delhi, [Date]** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent public addresses in Delhi, following the inauguration of significant development projects, are seen as a strategic move to bolster the BJP’s campaign ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. The projects, including new housing for slum dwellers and an expanded high-speed rail system, are aimed at improving the lives of Delhi residents.
The timing of the rallies, strategically placed after project inaugurations, is a familiar tactic employed by the PM in election-bound states to shape public perception. While the BJP has swept all seven Delhi parliamentary seats since 2014, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has dominated the state assembly elections.
This time, however, the political landscape appears different. PM Modi’s repeated use of the slogan “AAP-Da” (AAP disaster) and highlighting allegations of corruption against AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and other party officials, including the controversial renovation of Kejriwal’s official bungalow, are aimed at undermining AAP’s image. The Comptroller and Auditor General’s report detailing the excessive expenditure on the renovation has added fuel to the fire.
The BJP, traditionally lacking a strong counter to Kejriwal, appears to be relying on Modi’s charisma and these recent developments to gain ground. Recent BJP victories in Haryana and Maharashtra have further boosted party morale. While the AAP still holds a significant advantage, the BJP’s aggressive campaign, focused on highlighting governance issues and corruption allegations, could potentially lead to unexpected results in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections.
