As parties get ready for slogovers ahead of the Delhi Assembly election on February 5, BJP president J.P. Nadda presided over a meeting of the MPs from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Friday (January 31, 2025) and urged them to campaign in the city.
The meeting, held on the first day of the budget session of Parliament, comes in the background of plans to hold one mega joint rally of NDA leaders and smaller meetings of NDA partners across the national capital. MPs from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were present.

The attendees said the BJP was keen that Delhi, being a cosmopolitan city with voters hailing from across the country, should see a campaign blitzkrieg by MPs and leaders of its NDA alliance.
“At the meeting, all the NDA MPs were given a yellow-coloured envelope with details of two mandals (Mandal is BJP’s organisational terminology for a grouping of polling booths) that have been assigned to them,” said an MP.
Micro details of these mandals — from the number of voters to booths to social fabric of the area — were shared. Contact numbers of BJP office-bearers from the booth president up to the party’s district president were also given to the NDA MPs.
Two pamphlets were also part of the kit shared with MPs, one which listed all the promises made by the BJP in its manifesto for Delhi, entitled “Modi ki Guarantee” (Modi’s guarantee), and another a “chargesheet” against the current Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.

Senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari, have already addressed many public rallies as part of the campaign.
The AAP’s INDIA bloc partner, the Samajwadi Party (SP), has already campaigned for the AAP with a road show held jointly by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and SP leader Akhilesh Yadav.
