India / Modi vs kejriwal in 2024 says aam aadmi party why bjp is happy

New Delhi : On the one hand, when the CBI team was looking for evidence of the alleged liquor scam at the house of Manish Sisodia, the second largest leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on the other hand, the party which emerged out of the movement against corruption, declared a 'new war'. AAP has named its convener Arvind Kejriwal as a contender for the post of Prime Minister for the country's power contest going to be held in 2024. The party, which has given some indications in the past, has now openly said that only Kejriwal can become an alternative to Modi. The election of 2024 is going to be Modi vs Kejriwal.

Prima facie, one can also understand this to be said in anger over the CBI raids against Sisodia. But the way three big leaders reiterated this point in 24 hours, then there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Kejriwal is going to play against Modi in the riots of 2024. The party's founding members and Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh, Raghav Jadha and Manish Sisodia himself have announced this. Since the announcement of 'AAP', political experts have also started searching for its meaning.

Opposition unity broken before it was formed?

In 2024, who will compete, who will win and whose defeat will be decided after 2 years, but at the moment it is clear that the opposition unity which was being talked about to defeat Modi, seems to be disintegrating before becoming . Political analysts say that AAP's announcement will be a relief to the BJP somewhere. The saffron party can take relief from the fact that the contest is already triangular, while Congress considers Rahul Gandhi, TMC Mamata Banerjee, JDU, RJD Nitish Kumar as prime ministerial contenders. Even if the claimants like Mamta, Nitish get united under the leadership of Congress, then the one-sided announcement of 'AAP' without any consultation with the opposition has decided that there will be at least three fronts in the contest.

There will be competition in the opposition camp

There is a delay of two years in the Lok Sabha elections. Political parties may have started preparations for it from now on, but apart from claiming in gestures, no party had declared openly like 'AAP'. Some experts believe that after the announcement of Kejriwal's candidature, there may be competition among other parties to announce the names of their respective leaders. If this happens, the road may be easy for the BJP.

What is BJP saying

However, BJP is taking AAP's announcement very lightly. The example is being given of the crushing defeat of Kejriwal in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal may have been in power in Delhi for almost a decade, but his account could not be opened here in the last two Lok Sabha elections. Pointing to this in a press conference on Saturday, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said that he has challenged before and has seen the result. He said, “In Uttar Pradesh, Arvind Kejriwal of Sena Thok Thok used to say that he would form a government with full majority, used to say in Uttarakhand but could not open the account. The bails were forfeited. Will not be able to open account in Gujarat and Himachal. Kejriwal and Sisodia have become hit wickets in liquor policy.
