And, as the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government gears up for Delhi elections next month, protests became a key electoral issue. In spite of it all, Goel is confident. "In the last Lok Sabha election, BJP won all seven seats and by that calculation, we won 65 Assembly seats in Delhi. We also won the last Delhi municipal corporation election. People of Delhi have seen development by the Modi government," Goel told ANI. ‘Blame game’ — The battle is on As campaigning is heated from both sides, the ruling AAP and the BJP engaged in a blame game. Goel, who became the president of BJP’s Delhi unit in 2013 argued that the two opposition parties — Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) — may forge an alliance in the upcoming assembly elections as both are in accord for protests over CAA, corruption and NRC (National Register of Citizens). Symbolic violation of odd-even rule As Delhi heads to assembly polls, pollution crisis, cracking down on unauthorised residential colonies and a full statehood are the key issues brought up by the AAP. However, the BJP calls it an ‘election stunt.’ A few months back, the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP rolled out the odd-even scheme in Delhi to cut down on pollution levels. As a response, Goel said he would deliberately ride an odd-numbered vehicle on an even day, violating the rule. "My violation of odd-even scheme of the Kejriwal government will be symbolic because it's an election stunt and drama in view of assembly election," Goel <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/politics/bjp-mp-vijay-goel-says-will-violate-odd-even-scheme-calls-it-election-stunt-by-kejriwal-govt-2372387.html">told</a> PTI. However, taking a cue from the AAP, the BJP government rolled out the ‘jahan jhuggi wahin makaan’ (a home in place of a slum) scheme. It is dedicated to providing homes to over 20 lakh people living in the slums. Goel said that this housing scheme will be implemented on their newly claimed land.

As Delhi assembly elections are fast approaching, Gambhir might not play the field this time - but will still have a lot to say - from the box. He forayed into politics during the 2019 general elections when the BJP government gave him a ticket from East Delhi. The cricketer went on to win the seat by defeating Congress’ Arvinder Singh Lovely by 3.91 lakh votes and AAP’s Atishi by 1.71 lakh votes. The Jalebi controversy Since the win, Gambhir has been in the spotlight. He was subject to much criticism when the MP missed the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Urban Development meeting to discuss the rising air pollution crisis in the national capital. He was instead spotted gorging on jalebis with fellow commentator and former cricketer VVS Laxman during the India-Bangladesh cricket match in Indore. As the - Nero fiddled while Rome was burning - anger set in, Gambhir quickly released a statement - went on to say he was “petrified of eating jalebis”. Recently, Gambhir inaugurated an air purifier tower prototype in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar. But given his popularity, he is also rumoured to be a possible Chief Ministerial candidate from the BJP. In fact, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took to Twitter to wish a happy new year to seven Delhi CM candidates from the BJP and included Gambhir in the post. Commenting on the Delhi elections, Gambhir <a href="https://www.republicworld.com/election-news/delhi-assembly-elections/gautam-gambhir-excited-as-delhi-elections-announced-takes-on-aap.html">recently told ANI</a> that he is excited about it as “the people of Delhi are desperate and BJP will be able to fulfil all the promises which have been made in the past."

Before the AAP came into power in Delhi in 2015, Congress ruled the state for nearly 15 years. Chopra said that he is confident that the Congress will come to power again in Delhi, winning the majority of votes. He also denied any possibility of an alliance with AAP. This came in response to BJP president Vijay Goel’s statement that said that the opposition parties — Congress and AAP — may forge an alliance in the upcoming assembly elections as both are in accord for protests over CAA, corruption and NRC (National Register of Citizens). In fact, from rising pollution levels and water supply to surging onion prices and unemployment, he argued with an array of allegations against the AAP. “Onion prices had shot up when Sheila Dikshit was CM too, but she cracked down on hoarders. Kejriwal has not done that. What are they doing?”Chopra <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/assembly-elections/delhi/will-give-100-out-of-100-to-kejriwal-for-ads-congress-state-president/articleshow/73361249.cms">told</a> ET.

Cracking down on pollution crisis and clean water supply are the key issues that will be brought up during the assembly polls. Chopra also told NDTV that if the Congress comes to power, the residents of Delhi will be awarded with 30 paise cashback for each litre of water saved by them — promising free water supply upto 20,000 litres of water a month. Chopra said that the move will help the city save nearly 30% of drinking water. “The AAP government's free water scheme benefited the water tanker mafia," he said.

They also said that they will ensure free bus rides for students after winning the 2020 Assembly elections in the national capital, similar to the way his government has made the public transport free for women in the city, IANS reported. While the Bharatiya Janata Party which is looking to come into power had said in its manifesto that it will focus on solving the water crisis and air pollution problem. As many as 672 candidates are contesting across 70 constituencies. The key contesting parties are Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The voting started at 7 am in the morning and over 1.46 crore people were eligible to vote. As of 6 pm, the voter turnout stood at 54.67%. The polling percentage is indicating a low voter turnout this time. The results will be declared on February 11. During the 2015 elections, a large number of people came out to vote, registering a 67.1% voter turnout. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won the 2015 assembly election by winning 67 of 70 seats. Arvind Kejriwal is now eyeing a re-election in the upcoming assembly polls. This is the first time that the national capital is going to polls after the Lok Sabha elections. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP bagged all the seats in Delhi. Pollution crisis, cracking down on unauthorised residential colonies and full statehood of Delhi are the key issues to be brought up during the assembly polls and campaigns. Before the AAP came into power in Delhi, Congress ruled the state for nearly 15 years. However, they are not predicted to get back into power this year. The election commission had said that it will deploy nearly 90,000 officials to facilitate the election process. A statement from the election commission said, “Adequate night stay arrangements for polling staff on duty and due vigilance by expenditure observers needs to be stepped up and stringent action be taken so that electoral atmosphere is not vitiated.” See also: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/elections/news/interesting-facts-about-delhi-election-2020/articleshow/74020815.cms?src=hp_ts">Interesting facts about Delhi election 2020⁠— voter turnout, gender representation, migrant voters and a lot more</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/delhi-chief-minister-arvind-kejriwal-achievements-ahead-of-delhi-elections-2020/articleshow/73145839.cms">Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal⁠— the man with a knack for Carpe Diem</a> <a href="http://businessinsider.in/politics/elections/news/delhi-election-2020-bjps-vijay-goel-who-deliberately-broke-traffic-rules-in-delhi-hopes-to-re-create-lok-sabha-success/articleshow/73265139.cms">Delhi Election 2020: BJP’s Vijay Goel, who ‘deliberately’ broke traffic rules in Delhi, hopes to re-create Lok Sabha success</a>

The assembly polls will commence on February 8, and the final counting of votes will be on February 11. Of the total 1.46 crore voters in Delhi, 8,055,686 are men, 6,635,635 are women and 815 are categorised as third gender. The three main parties contesting elections constitute the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC). In 2015 assembly elections, <keyword id="260213" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arvind-Kejriwal">Arvind Kejriwal</keyword> was elected as the Chief Minister of the state. He is now eyeing a re-election in the upcoming assembly polls. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won the 2015 election — winning 67 of the 70 assembly seats while the three seats went to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This is the first time that the national capital is going to polls after the Lok Sabha elections. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP bagged all seven seats in Delhi. Pollution crisis, cracking down on unauthorised residential colonies and full statehood of Delhi are the key issues to be brought up during the assembly polls. Kejriwal also <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/delhi-poll-dates-to-be-announced-by-election-commission-at-3-30-pm-2159423">told</a> NDTV that clean water supply, ensuring the safety of women and improving public transport are the top priorities of the Delhi government. In addition to this, Kejriwal said that the government will ensure free bus rides for students after winning the 2020 Assembly elections in the national capital, similar to the way his government has made the public transport free for women in the city, IANS reported. The ongoing row over the Citizenship Amendment Act is also likely to be a prominent issue for the upcoming elections. Kejriwal also voiced his opposition to the NRC (National Register of Citizens) and NPR (National Population Register). In a bid to defend the citizenship law, Narendra Modi-led BJP government has taken up the attacks on Nankana Sahib in Pakistan while campaigning for elections. Sikhs constitute almost 5% of Delhi’s population, as per census 2011. Addressing a press conference, BJP National Secretary R.P. Singh said, "On Friday, stones were thrown at the Nankana Sahib Gurdwara and slogan to throw Sikhs out of Pakistan and send them to India were raised. The Pakistan government didn't take any action for 13 hours." Before the AAP came into power in Delhi, Congress ruled the state for nearly 15 years.

Through the five years, AAP has worked for the development of Delhi. A major achievement of the party has been the development of the government schools in the national capital. The incumbent Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s manifesto promised Jan Lokpal 24X7 markets. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party which is looking to come into power in the national capital had said in its manifesto that it will focus on solving the water crisis and air pollution problem. The national capital went to polls on February 8 for all of its 70 constituencies. The Bharatiya Janata Party, Aam Aadmi Party and the Indian National Congress are the main contenders for the majority number of seats in the Legislative Assembly. The voting started at 8 am and ended at 6 pm on February 8. The results will be out on February 11. As many as 1.46 crore are eligible to vote in this assembly election. There are over 672 candidates in the fray. As of 6 pm, the voter turnout stood at 53.51%. The voter turnout in 2016 Delhi Assembly elections stood at 67.13%. The Delhi elections has been in the election frenzy while protests against Citizenship Amendment Bill have also gripped the national capital. AAP has been campaigning for the elections with one message – to vote for education and development. Security forces have been kept on high alert in the national capital. Over 90,000 policemen were deployed at Delhi’s 13,750 polling stations. A statement from the election commission said, “Adequate night stay arrangements for polling staff on duty and due vigilance by expenditure observers needs to be stepped up and stringent action be taken so that electoral atmosphere is not vitiated.” The election commission has also launched a Booth app for faster voting process by scanning QR codes and will also give advance queue information to voters using Artificial Intelligence. It will also assist polling officials to detect duplicate voting.

Amid the rapid changes in technology and the United States <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/us-immigration-denial-of-h1-b-visas-raises-legal-questions/articleshow/68844794.cms">tightening</a> immigration laws, the sheen from India’s IT hub has dulled. Between 2016 and 2018, at least five million people lost their jobs in India according to a <a href="https://in.reuters.com/article/india-election-jobs/five-million-lost-jobs-in-india-between-2016-and-2018-report-idINKCN1RT1I3">report</a> by the Azim Premji University reporting unemployment increase in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. India is already looking at the highest unemployment rate in 45 years according to <a href="http://v">reports</a> and its effect is not lost on Bengaluru even with the <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/here-are-jobs-hiring-rises-by-15-bangalore-tops-check-where-delhi-mumbai-stand/1487202/">highest</a> hiring rate in the country. <a href="https://www.teamleasegroup.com/resources/reports/19">According</a> to TeamLease’s Employment Outlook, Bengaluru has been categorised as an employment ‘laggard’ with its employment outlook falling two percentage points in 2018. Waning job growth after demonetisation and the implementation of the General Goods and Services Tax (GST), Bengaluru is far from the day when it saw job spurts across the board for technical and blue-collar positions — starting from state run companies like India Telephone Industries Limited (ITI), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Bharat Electronic Limited (BHEL), and Bhart Earth Movers Limited (BEML). 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="One must remember that a significant number of voters come from outside Karnataka. In the IT sector, at best 65% of the people are locals and 35% are from outside. So it is quite possible that they cannot go back to their places to vote, while some may have gone back to vote. So I would not worry too much about voter turnout being only 55%." auname="Indian IT industrialist and co-founder of Infosys, NR Narayana Murthy"></div>

 Changes in technology As technology gets more complex with the rapid implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), so does the <a href="https://www.nasscom.in/system/files/secure-pdf/the-future-of-me_0.PDF">gap</a> of technical and non-technical skill requirements required for the sector. So, it's not that the jobs don’t exist in Bengaluru — there’s actually an increasing demand for highly skilled technical management jobs that offer <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/bengaluru-pays-the-highest-salaries-in-india-study/articleshow/66743965.cms">high</a> salaries — but more, that people aren’t equipped with the correct skill sets for employment. The bigger issue boils down to the quality and content of educational institutions where the <a href="https://www.facilities.aicte-india.org/dashboard/pages/dashboardaicte.php">placement rate</a> of engineering and management schools was its highest at 30% between 2012 to 2018, according to AICTE’s online data dashboard. It’s not just Bengaluru that has jobs on its mind. It’s the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/lok-sabha-elections-2019-pew-research-report-on-key-election-issues/articleshow/68572903.cms">number one</a> issue for Indian voters as they participate in the world’s largest democratic exercise according to a report by the Pew Research Center (PRC). Lingering effects of demonetisation Demonetisation has been particularly hard for the citizens in Peenya, one of the biggest industrial areas in Asia located in northwest Bengaluru — and primary depends on cash for its transactions. It’s home to more than 6,000 small businesses, employing over 800,000 people and generation ₹120 billion ($1.72 billion) in revenue, according to Peenya Industries Association. Even Bengaluru’s realty market is only just <a href="https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/realty-market-rises-from-demonetisations-ashes/articleshow/63523111.cms">starting</a> to recover from the effects of demonetisation where property <a href="https://news.housebolo.com/demonetisation-impact-bangalores-property-markets-takes-a-hit/">registrations</a> dipped from 1,800 per day to 200 per day. Startups <a href="https://inc42.com/features/indian-startup-shutdowns-2017/">came</a> under the gun as well, especially the e-commerce segment. Bigger startups like Flipkart and Zomato, both based out of Bengaluru, had to <a href="http://v">figure out</a> how to make up for the fact that 60 to 70% of their orders were cash-on-delivery transactions. Choking on industrial waste While industries in Bengaluru have thrived over the past couple of years, it has not been without its cost. The city’s Bellandur Lake and Vrishabhavathi River have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Bellandur Lake was seen spewing a 10-feet high wall of toxic foam that seeped on to the roads and bridges.

 The Peenya Industrial Belt, with more than 7,500 industries — including the Peenya, Yeshwanthpura, Rajajinagar, Jalahalli, Goraguntepalya and Dasarahalli industrial areas — has also been called into question for polluting the Vrishabhavathi River and the lakes within its catchment area. One of lakes, Nelagadaranahalli Lake, is even <a href="https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/how-bengaluru-s-peenya-industrial-area-has-choked-and-killed-its-surrounding-lakes-90116">speculated</a> to be more toxic than Bellandur Lake. The problem seems to be on the rise despite corporates facing penalties <a href="https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/pollution/ngt-makes-polluters-pay-nearly-double-so-far-this-year-than-whole-of-2018-63927">amounting</a> to ₹750 million ($10.8 million) within the first quarter of 2019 for water pollution in Karnataka from National Green Tribunal (NGT).

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP already paid the price for some of these issues by losing its opportunity to win during the Karnataka’s State Assembly Elections in 2018. But, the Janata Dal (Secular) and Congress alliance that replaced the government has been <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/politics/dissidence-in-some-lok-sabha-seats-over-jds-alliance-says-congress-2078551.html">facing dissidence</a> in certain constituencies, hampering their prospects.
