Delhi Election / How many seats in Delhi have Purvanchal factor? For which AAP and BJP are face to face

Delhi Election: As the winter is increasing in Delhi, the temperature of politics is also rising. Especially the political atmosphere that is being created regarding the voters of Purvanchal has become interesting. The people of Purvanchal are considered an important vote bank in Delhi, and these voters have a direct impact on about 35 out of 70 assembly seats in Delhi. The decision of victory or defeat on these seats depends on the votes of Purvanchalis. This is the reason why this time in Delhi, both BJP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are trying their best to attract Purvanchal voters towards themselves.

Political importance of Purvanchalis

There are a total of 1.5 crore voters in Delhi, out of which about 40-45 lakh voters come from Purvanchal. These include people from eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand. They have a good influence in various areas of Delhi, such as Vikaspuri, Dwarka, Karawal Nagar, Model Town, Burari, Uttam Nagar, Patparganj, Laxmi Nagar, Badarpur, Palam, Rajendra Nagar and Deoli. The number of Purvanchal voters in these seats can be 40 to 50 percent, which can make the election result decisive.

Tough competition between AAP and BJP

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) received good support from Purvanchal voters in the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections, which gave the party huge success in Delhi. But now BJP is planning to break this effective vote bank of Aam Aadmi Party. BJP is trying to spoil the calculations of AAP by attracting Purvanchalis towards itself. BJP leaders have continuously made statements in this regard, while Aam Aadmi Party has opposed these allegations and described itself as a true sympathizer of Purvanchalis.

Bangladeshi infiltration issue

Recently, the notice issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to schools related to illegal Bangladeshi immigrants has further fuelled this controversy. The MCD directed schools to identify illegal Bangladeshi students and asked the health department to refuse to issue birth certificates for such immigrants. Apart from this, the MCD said that if Bangladeshi immigrants have made illegal constructions, they should be demolished. After this notice, the heat in politics has increased even more. The Aam Aadmi Party alleged that the BJP is deliberately targeting Purvanchalis, while the BJP claims that the AAP is including illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators in the voter list.

Allegations and counter-allegations of AAP and BJP

Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh launched a scathing attack against the BJP and said that the BJP is deliberately targeting Purvanchalis. He also alleged that the BJP's intention is to bulldoze the houses and shops of Purvanchalis. On the other hand, the BJP rejected these allegations and said that the AAP is spreading confusion. BJP leader and Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari said that BJP President JP Nadda was born in Patna and he has respect and love for the people of Poorvanchal in his heart. He also said that the Aam Aadmi Party is spreading propaganda against the BJP.

What is the future political scenario?

The role of Poorvanchal voters is going to be important in Delhi politics, and it remains to be seen in whose favor this vote bank leans in the next elections. It is clear from the allegations and counter-allegations between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party that both the parties are trying their best to get this important vote bank. The upcoming elections will decide which party the people of Poorvanchal will turn to, and which party will get political benefit from it.

This time the cold is increasing in the election battle of Delhi, but the heat of politics is also at its peak.
