Can the AAP return to power in Delhi yet again? | In Focus podcast
The Hindu
Rahul Verma joins G. Sampath to discuss the question ahead of the Delhi polls.
Will Arvind Kejriwal return to power once again in Delhi? Or, will the BJP build on the momentum of its recent victories in Haryana and Maharashtra to dislodge the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from power? What are the stakes for the Congress in these elections, given that its vote share in the last election had shrunk to less than 5%? These are some of the questions on people’s minds as the state gears up for the assembly polls, scheduled for February 5.
In this episode of In Focus, we preview the chances of the three contenders, assess the competing narratives that each of them is pushing, and analyse the issues that could tip the balance among the voters.
Guest: Rahul Verma, political analyst and Fellow at the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi.
Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu.
