Published: Jan 10 2025, 3 pmeznews.inIn New Delhi, a fresh political confrontation has erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over allegations of electoral roll manipulation and comments made by BJP leader Parvesh Verma.

Published: Jan 10 2025, 3 pmeznews.inArvind Kejriwal, who entered politics over a decade ago as an anti-corruption crusader, now faces a challenging electoral landscape in Delhi ahead of the February 5 polls.

Additionally, scrutiny over the effectiveness of Mohalla clinics and rising concerns over unfulfilled promises, such as pollution control and inflated utility bills, have further undermined his credibility. Questions about his ability to assume office again due to bail conditions add to the uncertainty surrounding his political future, as voters weigh whether to forgive his deviations from his original ideals.
