The battle of the 70 assembly seats will be fought on an altogether new turf this year as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has covered much ground following his massive win in Lok Sabha election.
He also became the poster boy of BJP's victory in several states assembly elections.
On the other hand, the former Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal, who quit on February 14 last year, has lost sheen during this period. Kejriwal's, press conference just after Modi's rally in Delhi, got some eyeballs from media. However, the response form denizens of the city remained lukewarm.
Kejriwal's loss might well be Modi's gain, as Congress seems to have already given up where Delhi elections are concerned. The party is not putting up an aggressive fight in the upcoming elections.
Delhi surprised the politics pundits last year by giving a mandate in favour of Kejriwal. It remains to be seen whether the capital city will spring a surprise this time or not.
