In a big potential upset for the AAP, the BJP is leading from Delhi’s Okhla constituency which has been home to the infamous Shaheen Bagh protests.
As per reports, BJP’s Braham Singh is leading against the controversial AAP leader Amanatullah Khan by a margin of around 250 votes.
The constituency is witnessing a triangular contest between AAP’s Khan, Congress’ Parvez Hashmi, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)‘s Brahm Singh.
Amanatullah Khan has frequently been in the news for his Islamist remarks. He was recently accused of inciting violence during the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protests in Delhi NCR.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
