A situation has been created to make many believe that, on February 8 it is going to be the election for Shaheen Bagh and not for the Delhi Assembly. And the protagonists those emerge from the sullen premises of Shaheen Bagh are the people like Gopal and Kapil who add fuel to the fire.
So clumsy has become the politics over Shaheen Bagh that, it is difficult to know whom do the duo belong to.
However, common sense wouldn’t permit for any political party to send its man to make naked blandishment of a gun among a restive crowd to identify himself with a particular ideology.
It is always the other way round. If they were planted by the adversaries then, there may be few buyers. If Gopal was a hard core Hindu or not that should have been a subject for probe. But such outcomes are usually get obfuscated through the television debates and the truth is bound to remain buried till the polls are over.
But what has come in handy for some that, they have gone overboard to discover a devil in Kapil Gujjar, notwithstanding his allegiance to any party. However, the Aap chief Arvind Kejriwal has dared the BJP for a probe over the issue and punish Kapil.
The moot point is winning the Delhi elections. Some media houses through their surveys have found the fulcrum tilting towards the Aap although, it is hard to dismiss that, the chances of BJP plucking few more ‘kamals’(lotus) from the muddied grounds in and around Shaheen Bagh.
Going by what a few surveys indicate, Aap with a chance to get a 57% to 58% votes in its favour, but each day the changing chemistry at Shaheen Bagh throws up a new trajectory. With the PM and the HM getting down to high voltage campaign , even a single day before the polls can make a lot of difference.
Now, with the announcement on Ram Mandir Trust in Ayodhya, the BJP must be looking forward to jacking up its 37% vote projections to somewhere around 38 to 40% which may damage the Aap substantially, although not terminally.
