Delhi | Sunday | 15th December, 2019

Summary:

New Delhi: Gearing up for the tough task of dislodging the ruling AAP government, the BJP is focusing on a dozen reserved Assembly constituencies in the city to strengthen its chances of returning to power in Delhi after more than two decades. In the coming days, some more meetings are planned," said Delhi BJP SC Morcha president Mohanlal Gihara. The BJP which was ousted from power in Delhi in 1998, has performed "pathetically" in around 20 Assembly seats where SC and Muslim voters determine the results, said a senior Delhi BJP leader. The SC Morcha held 'Anusuchit Jati (SC) Swabhiman Sammelan' in reserved constituencies on Sunday to strengthen BJP's bond with them, he said. In the past Assembly polls since 1993, the BJP has been unable to make an inroad in the reserved Assembly seats that have earlier been a bastion of Congress till 2015 when the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) set record winning 67 of the 70 Assembly Constituencies..
