The story as being unfolded by the biased or unbiased media, writers,supporters is becoming a circling ladder (jhula) as visioned here in few constituency :
Its unending fact that BJP is earnestly hoping and assured of blockbuster swing in its chances once the director -producer Modi enters the stage, as the leaders and supporters are banking on acceleration in the last few weeks, while the opposition praying for getting Narendra Modi peaked up early so as help them to react in time for Delhi Assembly polls.
BJP billboards with Narendra Modi are looming everywhere, as well his bigger presence is awaited in the Delhi Assembly election campaign too. The BJP candidates are soliciting votes in his name while the Congress is spinning its pitch around hoping that Modi, having "peaked too early".
Even in a meeting with Congress sympathisers in neighbouring Malviya Nagar, minister Kiran Walia steers clear of big names, but has to counter questions about whether the man who is clearly dominating television screens at the moment will lord over EVMs too.
In Malviya Nagar, minister Kiran Walia is dismissive. "They have raised the pitch too much and too early. If you ask me, I think he (Modi) will burn out." Her audience keeps quiet, promises to turn up for the upcoming padyatra too. Her meeting with party cadre is punctuated by questions about inflation and power bills. Doubts simmer below the surface with reference to rumours about how Walia may not make the cut,as more than one person ends up asking politely, "Why did it take so long to decide the ticket,"?
Local issues making mockery of a state election in developed and urbanised Delhi. As BJP candidate and former Delhi mayor Aarti Mehra, addressed in Safdarjung Area, urging people to vote for the "Modi model" before singing paeans to his honesty, breaking the audience into applause. But she soon switched to other issues,corruption,economy, health care and local issues such as parking and stray dogs. She goes on to slam the sitting Congress MLA for having neither "vision" nor "sensitivity" before ending with a couple of lines on Harsh Vardhan, hailing him as a "silent doer" with a clean image.
At Satya Niketan, Congress MLA Barkha Singh is known face to women, but still worried about her work and image, admits the mood change in voters,"what a tough fight it is this time and how BJP will go "all out" to target people who support her.The huge paying guest business around South Campus has caused large scale exodus." Supporters agree these voters are a lost cause in a BJP fortress Satya Niketan. Even more the BSP candidate Dheeraj Tokas, a former Congress dissident at Munirka, will be denting the Congress traditional vote bank in Sanjay Colony, Barka Singh admits gravely.
Many Congress leaders admit their ignorance or anonymity on new generation voter's mood,saying,"It is people like him — and the younger lot which, post Lokpal, seems suddenly far more politically conscious than five years ago — that is the challenge".
In Malviya Nagar, the Congress minister Kiran Walia criticised the distrust of new voters and said,"How do you explain to first-time voters how Delhi was 15 years ago? They have only seen Delhi like it is at present. I am having two meetings where I will talk to the youth and show them audio-visual presentations about Delhi's development," .
BJP's one word selling proposition to the young, however, is simple, the new charismatic leader icon — Modi.While within the Congress,the insiders say,Congress will face the problem of dissidence clubbed with incumbency in most of the 42 constituencies, where they have decided to repose their faith in the sitting MLA.
