New Delhi - As the city of Delhi went to the polls on Saturday, BJP candidate from North-East Delhi, Manoj Tiwari, launched a scathing attack on his opponent, Kanhaiya Kumar. Tiwari accused Kumar of betraying the country and predicted that the public would not cast their votes in his favor.

“Today is a very prestigious day. Again to elect Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the people of Delhi are out,” said Tiwari, expressing his confidence in the electorate’s support for the BJP.

Tiwari further criticized Kumar, stating, “There is no real challenge when the nation is progressing so well. The challenges these individuals bring are to their own party, which is falling apart with their involvement. They can’t challenge anyone else. The nation supports ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai,’ not someone who chants ‘Desh ki tukde honge’ and is accused of betraying the country. The victory will go to someone who respects the army, not someone who abuses it.”

He also took a dig at the Congress party for choosing Kumar as their candidate, accusing him of abusing the country’s army. “I think even the traditional voters will not vote for him. They will refuse to vote but will not cast their votes in his favor. We have to cast votes for the development of the country and for PM Modi,” he added.

Commenting on the voter turnout, Tiwari stated, “This morning, I heard that voter enthusiasm is higher in these elections compared to 2014 and 2019. I urge all voters to head to their designated booths and cast their ballots.”

Tiwari, the incumbent MP of North West Delhi, has previously won the seat in 2014 and 2019. In contrast, his opponent, Kanhaiya Kumar, contested as a Communist Party of India (CPI) candidate from Begusarai in Bihar in 2019, which he lost to Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Giriraj Singh. Kumar later joined the Congress in 2021.

The Congress is contesting the Lok Sabha elections in an alliance with the AAP in Delhi. As part of the seat-sharing arrangement, the Congress is contesting three seats while AAP has fielded candidates from four constituencies in Delhi.
