Pradeep Bhandari’s Analysis
Free electricity & provision of day to day welfare benefits have proved to be swing factors for AAP in Rajinder Nagar by-poll. The BJP though fielded a local candidate with considerable hold & presence could not capture the popular vote which prefered the welfare benefits provided by Kejriwal govt over a ‘ local candidate’. The data& observations from ground suggest that yet again women have become the decision makers in determining the fate of an electoral outcome. Complete elimination of Congress in Delhi gives AAP a decisive edge in a bipolar election. Whereas BJP has received more votes in upper middle class, & Punjabi dominated clusters, AAP has received majority of its vote from lower middle class demography making it the first preference of urban poor in Delhi.
