Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is running an aggressive campaign for the assembly elections next month, will hold several roadshows in the national capital today where he is expected to highlight the achievements of his Aam Aadmi Party government in the last five years.
Mr Kejriwal has raised the poll pitch in the last few days after the ruling AAP announced all 70 candidates for the assembly constituencies in Delhi.
The national capital will witness a three-cornered battle between the AAP, BJP and Congress as it votes on February 8; votes will be counted three days later on February 11.
On Sunday, Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah referred to the protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA in his poll speech while campaigning in Delhi. "When you press the button (on the voting machine) on February 8, do so with such anger that its current is felt at Shaheen Bagh," the top BJP leader said in Hindi at an election rally in Delhi.

In a veiled attack, JDU's deputy chief and poll strategist Prashant Kishor, whose firm is managing ruling Aam Aadmi Party's poll campaign in Delhi, tweeted a comeback on Home Minister Amit Shah's "press button remark" on Sunday.
8 फ़रवरी को दिल्ली में EVM का बटन तो प्यार से ही दबेगा। ज़ोर का झटका धीरे से लगना चाहिए ताकि आपसी भाईचारा और सौहार्द ख़तरे में ना पड़े।

In a sharply-worded tweet, BJP chief JP Nadda today accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of supporting those who "want to break India". "Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and other anti-India forces raised seditious slogans like 'Bharat tere tukde honge' in JNU. They were threatening to violate India's sovereignty. Law enforcement agencies moved in, investigated the matter and in Jan 2019 were ready to file chargesheet," he wrote in one of the tweets.
They sought Kejriwal's permission to prosecute this tukde tukde gang but one year later, till y'day, no permission was granted. Kejriwal must tell Delhi why is he supporting those who want to break India? Is it because acting against these anti-nationals will hurt his vote bank?
