It’s AAP vs BJP in Delhi Assembly elections
Delhi is all set for Assembly elections tomorrow 5th February 2025 and with the results being declared on 8th February 2025.
The primary battle will be between AAP and BJP with Congress trying to rely on past glory.
AAP has a clear edge in this election, considering their excellent track record of delivering freebies for over a decade period and a strong chief ministerial face. The BJP and the Congress have also announced several sops to woo voters, but the voters have more faith in the delivery of the broom party.
Initially, the BJP attacked the AAP over issues of governance and corruption, but it shifted its focus midway through their campaigning to offering welfare schemes. The Congress too attacked AAP in order to regain its voters that have shifted their loyalty to the AAP in the last decade.
Despite the criticisms from Opposition parties, including allegations of corruption and poor governance, AAP retained its popularity by emphasising its track record of social welfare schemes.

When I first heard the story, I was a bit sceptical about how a new director like Rocky would execute it, but he narrated it brilliantly. Many people can tell a great story, but translating it onto the screen is a different challenge altogether. With the support of producer Srinivas sir, Rocky has done an exceptional job. The film is of pan-Indian quality, and I am extremely happy and satisfied to be part of it. This movie is very special to me, and it holds a place close to my heart. The first look is stunning, and I still remember the day we shot the fight sequences, which have turned out incredibly well.
