THE QUESTIONS
After the Exit Poll results on February 7, the day of voting..
1.Did keeping on postponing Delhi polls for so long help AAP
regain the lost ground after Kejriwal’s ‘deserter
act’ leaving Delhi just after 49 days of governance to pursue the national
political agenda?
2. Did BJP fail in exploiting electorally the ‘deserter act
episode’? Did the party fail in convincing Delhi’s electorate that Kejriwal did
something so seriously wrong that he was not to be forgiven for another chance?
3. Was BJP over-confident and was caught off-guard to take on challenges when
the Abhinandan Rally of January 10 to launch BJP’s Delhi campaign (with
Narendra Modi being the face of the rally) failed to bring the expected number of people
to Ramlila Ground?
4. Did an Arvind Kejriwal-focused campaigning help Kejriwal cement
his position further? Kejriwal was already the most popular CM candidate and an all-out
attack on him while he chose not to respond to the personal attacks looks to
have backfired.
5. Was the decision to induct Kiran Bedi in BJP was taken too late? The reports
of Kiran Bedi joining BJP had been doing rounds since before the Lok Sabha polls and
Kiran Bedi had been praising prime minister Narendra Modi on his every move. Would an earlier induction have played out differently for BJP and Kiran
Bedi in Delhi?
