Rohingyas back at centre of Delhi poll discourse, old Hardeep Puri post latest flashpoint between AAP-BJP

New Delhi: Rohingya Muslims are once again at the centre of a political row in Delhi, where assembly elections are due in two months, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing each other of allowing members of the community to “illegally settle” in the city. Stung by BJP’s allegations that it helped Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally obtain voter identity cards over the past decade when it governed the city, the AAP Sunday raked up an over two-year-old statement by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri that Rohingya refugees will be shifted to low-cost flats in Delhi’s Bakkarwala.

According to our surveys, while we are getting 30 (of 70 assembly seats), the AAP is likely to get 40. More such surveys will be conducted and we are sure this number would have increased for the BJP already,” a source in the party told ThePrint. Show Full Article Acco...

As Delhi assembly polls loom, why AAP is turning up the heat on Amit Shah

New Delhi: At a time when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is learnt to be exploring the option of contesting the 2025 Delhi assembly elections with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the face of its campaign, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has zeroed in on Union home minister Amit Shah as its principal political adversary in the run-up to the polls. Over the past fortnight, the party, in power in Delhi, has made it evident that a key aspect of its campaign will be centred around the “failure” of Shah in handling the law and order situation in the capital, where the police are under the purview of the Centre. The AAP, unlike many smaller parties, has never pulled any punches in making political attacks against Modi and Shah. But what is likely to set its poll campaign apart this time is the party’...
