The Delhi Assembly elections have been announced, and political parties are busy strategizing their moves. BJP leader Kapil Mishra criticized Delhi's Chief Minister Atishi and AIMIM state president Shoaib Jamai, saying, 'Owaisi's party doesn't even take Owaisi seriously, and I don't think AIMIM has any existence in Delhi. They've ticketed those who engage in riots. Tahir Hussain, involved in the murder of IB officer Ankit Sharma, has been fielded by AIMIM. I believe Owaisi aims to rub salt in the wounds of Delhi's Hindu community, but we won't let that happen this time.'

Shoaib Jamai also retaliated against Kapil Mishra. He remarked, 'Kapil Mishra used to collect donations at Tahir Hussain's house and do chores like washing dishes there.' Jamai stated that if their party leadership approves, they will field a candidate against Kapil Mishra, insisting that Mishra must be defeated at any cost. Notably, BJP has chosen Kapil Mishra as their candidate from Karawal Nagar.
Kapil Mishra on Atishi's crowd-funding plea: 'People only remembered when money was needed'
Delhi's Chief Minister Atishi, contesting from Kalkaji for the AAP, is crowdfunding for her election campaign, requesting ₹4 million. During a press conference, Atishi appealed for donations ranging from ₹100 to ₹1000 for her election campaign. Addressing Atishi's crowdfunding, Kapil Mishra stated, 'It's funny how people are only remembered when money is needed for elections. During scams worth crores, they didn't recall the public. Now they do. At one time, NRIs came from abroad for crowdfunding, people themselves came forward, but now it's all a show. Atishi is losing from Kalkaji, and Arvind Kejriwal from Delhi. AAP knows this well, so they are resorting to dramatics.'

BJP poised to form government in Delhi: Kapil Mishra
Regarding the Delhi elections, Kapil Mishra asserted that BJP is set to form the next government, stating, 'People of Delhi have decided on a change. Having won from Karawal Nagar before, I am confident. With the combined strength of leaders like PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP will make a comeback in Delhi. On February 8, the government of Ram devotees will be formed, the saffron will flutter, and voices will echo 'Jai Jai Shri Ram.' Notably, voting in Delhi's 70 seats will occur on February 5, with counting on February 8. In the last assembly elections, AAP secured 62 seats, BJP won 8, and Congress failed to secure any seats.
