The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which was out of power in Delhi for 26 years, is preparing to make a comeback in the upcoming assembly elections. This time, BJP is planning to challenge the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with the help of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s big programs and development schemes related to Delhi.
Two major programs of PM Modi
December 28: Inauguration of Metro Phase-IV in Rohini.
- Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate Metro Phase-IV during an event at the Japanese Park in Rohini.
- Namo Bharat train is likely to start operating up to New Ashok Nagar on the same day.
January 3: Event in North-East Delhi
- Modi can inaugurate two phases of Delhi-Dehradun Expressway here.
- Along with this, other development schemes including Dwarka Expressway are also likely to be inaugurated.
BJP’s strategy:
- BJP has planned to create an election atmosphere through these programmes.
- After PM Modi’s programs, BJP will organize programs of other leaders region wise.
Impact of electoral process and code of conduct
- Assembly elections in Delhi may be announced in the first week of January.
- The final voter list will be published on January 5. After this, the code of conduct will come into force, due to which the inauguration and foundation stone laying of development works will stop.
BJP’s election strategy
Multiplication and first list on seats

Role of former MPs
