The political landscape in Delhi is charged with intense competition as various parties vie for power in the upcoming elections. In southern Delhi, BJP has put forward Ramesh Bidudi and Tarvinder Singh Marwa, while AAP counters with prominent figures like Atishi and Manish Sisodia. The battle is centered around allegations of unfulfilled promises and a lack of substantial development under the AAP-led government. BJP leaders criticize AAP for its failure to address basic infrastructure needs, such as the poor water supply and sewage systems, despite offering free electricity and water to residents. They argue that while AAP has provided short-term relief through freebies, it has done little to improve long-term infrastructure or governance in the city. Delhi residents, however, have expressed mixed reactions. Some voters believe BJP’s claims of progress, mentioning improvements in roads and healthcare. However, many are frustrated with the lack of basic services like clean water and proper sewage systems. “No one has come to address our issues,” said one local, reflecting the growing dissatisfaction. On the other hand, many still feel nostalgic about Sheila Dikshit’s tenure and are leaning towards Congress, hoping for a return to effective governance. As election day nears, Delhi residents are torn between the promises of change, development, and effective governance. With a growing demand for solutions to the city’s basic infrastructure issues, the outcome of this election remains uncertain.
