Clash of the handouts as Modi's BJP seeks to reclaim Delhi after decades

^{Published on 2025-01-22 04:00:48 - Reuters}

Having unexpectedly won two Indian state votes late last year, in big part due to a slew of handouts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party is deploying the same playbook in a bid to wrest back Delhi for the first time in nearly three decades next month.

The article from Reuters discusses the upcoming Indian general elections where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is intensifying its campaign to reclaim Delhi, a city it has not governed for over two decades. The BJP is focusing on welfare schemes and development projects to win back voters, highlighting Modi's personal popularity and the government's achievements. The opposition, primarily the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress, are countering with their own promises of free services and subsidies, like free electricity and water, to retain their voter base. The political atmosphere is charged with both sides engaging in a battle of giveaways, with Modi's image being central to BJP's strategy, while AAP and Congress criticize BJP for not doing enough for Delhi despite being in power at the national level. The election is set to be a significant test for BJP's national dominance and Modi's appeal in the capital.
