Political equation in Delhi depends on three forces namely the Hindu force, the secular force and the Dalit power. The congress no longer represents the secular force in Delhi. Seemingly the Aam Admi Party has replaced it and has emerged as a formidale political power. The Dalit power always play a crucial role as it does not always back the Hindu hardliners. Their tilt would determine the outcome of the forthcoming assembly elections. Rakhi Birla of the Aam Admi Party has become an icon among the Dalits. Unless BJP ropes in a popular Dalit leader of reasonable standing, the Aam Adnmi party could become a force to reckon with. The Congress Party having been sidelined the contest is being seen mainly between the BJP and the Aam Admi Party.
The BJP would love to scatter the minority vote by encouraging some Muslim Party to contest the elections. It may also try to scatter the Sikh vote by asking the Akali Dal to contest the elections separately.
Arvind Kejriwal would be spearheading the secular forces instead of the Congress Party this time. If the Dalit power tilts towards Rakhi Birla, Aam Admi Party stands a good chance of coming to power.
