New Delhi, Jan 1 (TIWN) The BJP is leaving no stones unturned to come back to power in the national capital where it is out in the cold for nearly two decades. That is the reason, even on the New Year Day, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar was fronted by the party to not only advertise the party's 'achievements' in terms of regularising illegal colonies but also train guns at ruling Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress for allegedly spearheading the anti-CAA violent protests in Delhi last month.

It will be a three-dimensional fight as the nature of the poll battle in the Capital has changed in the last few years with the entry of the AAP in 2013.  Earlier it used to be a direct fight between the Congress and the BJP.  Whether the BJP will be able to gain ground after its thumping victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls remains to be seen. The BJP won all the seven Lok Sabha seats but if the Congress and the AAP had come together the saffron party would not have won all of them. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, when the Modi wave swept the country, the AAP got 33.1 per cent votes while the Congress got 15.1 per cent. Their combined vote share was two percentage points more than that of the BJP.  Though Delhi is a small State the upcoming polls are crucial as it is the Capital of the country. The Congress too is hoping to improve its position in Delhi where it had ruled for three continuous terms before losing power to the AAP. Unfortunately for the grand old party, it is facing a leadership crisis not only at the national level but also at the State level, with indiscipline and groupism dogging it. It appears to be the weakest among the three parties in the fray.
