New Delhi, 27 October 2022

As per news report of NDTV, BJP workers protested with black flags and slogans ahead of the AAP boss's visit. AAP workers countered with slogans against the BJP, which ran the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for over a decade before all three MCD divisions were dissolved to make one unified body. Elections to the unified MCD are likely by the end of this year or in early 2023. Slamming the BJP protests as "illogical", Mr Kejriwal later underlined that he'd sent Delhi's elderly citizens to free-of-cost pilgrimages, calling himself Delhi's "Shravan Kumar", the Ramayana hero known for taking his parents to shrines. "For once, I urge BJP voters to forget party affiliations. We will clean up Delhi. I want to tell the mothers in Delhi, vote for your son who took you to pilgrimages," he said. The rhetoric is getting sharper — and markedly religious — in light of elections in Gujarat too, where AAP is hoping to challenge an entrenched BJP. With a demand to put images of Hindu deities on currency notes, Mr Kejriwal had yesterday made an apparent bid for the BJP's core Hindutva vote.
