New Delhi: Just as the ball sets rolling for the Delhi elections with the announcement of poll dates, it seems the political parties are trying every card possible with the new entrant, Aam Aadmi Party, too in the fray. While AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal is confident that he will win the Delhi elections with 'overwhelming majority', it seems a hidden campaign against him has already begun.
A recorded phone call against Arvind Kejriwal, apparently from 'no political party' has started doing the rounds just a day after the Election Commission announced the poll dates. A man's voice during the call claims Kejriwal betrayed Anna and colluded with the Congress and that therefore, one should not vote for him.
This is what the caller says, "Hi, I'm Sri Om. I used to work with India Against Corruption when Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal led the campaign. But Arvind Kejriwal colluded with the Congress and made his own political party with their backing. Arvind Kejriwal betrayed Anna. A person who can betray his own men can betray anyone. I therefore, request you not to vote for Kejriwal in the coming Delhi elections." (Translated from Hindi)
One may wonder as to who is behind the campaign as the call comes from the number 0091 1409 711 885, which is not a dial back number. Is it the Congress trying to scuttle his chances? Is it the BJP trying to cut its losses by asking people not to support AAP? Is it some disgruntled element from the past? Or finally, is it AAP itself trying to garner 'sympathy' votes?
The elections in Delhi are scheduled for December 4 while the counting will take place on December 8.
