They comprise nearly 40% of votes in Delhi, something the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) knows. And, Chadha’s track record hasn’t been all good. In 2019, he contested from the South Delhi seat during the Lok Sabha election and lost to BJP’s candidate — Ramesh Bidhuri. However, luck seems to have turned around for him.

 Chadha and AAP Chadha joined the AAP during the Anna Movement — India Against Corruption — where he met Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Mehra. He was one of the few people that helped Kejriwal draft the Delhi Lokpal Bill in 2013. He frequently appears on television as AAP’s spokesperson during news debates, most popularly on Times Now. At the age of 26 years, he is one of the youngest party spokespersons for AAP. A criminal record, a case and an apology While he comes from a non-political background, he quickly earned himself a criminal record. Chadha was <a href="https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/aap-leader-raghav-chadha-arrested-in-protests-over-church-attacks-230004.html">arrested</a> by the Delhi police in 2015 during protests against the government’s inaction towards the growing number of attacks on churches in the city. He was also sued for defamation by the late Arun Jaitley for retweeting a post that was defamatory — a case that was <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/politics/jaitley-accepts-kejriwals-apology-in-ddca-defamation-case-kumar-vishwas-will-not-say-sorry-1705587.html">retracted</a> after Kejriwal retracted his statements and apologised.

The Aam Aadmi Party is yet to release its complete manifesto but sources told <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/24x7-markets-in-city-aap-readies-its-poll-manifesto/articleshow/73531520.cms">TOI</a> that it may include keeping up Delhi’s markets open around the clock. The idea is to bring Delhi at par with other cities around the world like Singapore, New York and India’s own, Mumbai. On Wednesday, the Maharashtrian capital <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/its-official-mumbai-to-remain-open-24x7-from-january-27/articleshow/73517478.cms">passed a proposal</a> to allow shops and restaurants to remain open 24/7 from 27 January 2020. However, the same does not apply to bars and pubs, which will have to close their shutters by 1:30 am. Supporters of the move argue that it will help businesses grow while opponents assert that it will take a toll on the already deteriorating law and order situation. The party will first run a pilot test and only expand it to more markets if it’s successful. <div type="image" title="2472_edited" msid="73579390" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Delhi Police is on the lookout for those harassing women at crowded markets like Sarojini Nagar during the New Year shopping season&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 The question of the law and order Former city BJP president and MLA Raj K Purohit believes that Mumbai’s decision to keep markets open around the clock will lead to an increase in crime. "If the culture of alcohol consumption gets popular, there will be thousands of cases of crimes against like the infamous Nirbhaya incident," he told reporters. However, over the past five years, Delhi has installed 1.4 lakh CCTV cameras across the city with another 1.4 lakh in progress. The AAP government is also installing 2.5 lakh streetlights in the city to make the capital free of dark spots. "For a city to remain open 24×7 and for proper movement of traffic, it needs three times the infrastructure. Since women’s safety is a matter of major concern in India, protecting them and providing more security will call for more personnel as well," Maxwell Periera, a former joint commissioner of Delhi police, told <a href="https://theprint.in/talk-point/mumbai-to-stay-open-24x7-more-cities-should-follow-or-fix-creaking-infrastructure-first/353502/">ThePrint</a>. <div type="image" title="2471_edited" msid="73579426" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Security posts in New Delhi&amp;#39;hs Lajpat Nagar area&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 Periera points out that while other countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have headed international standards, most Indian companies have failed miserably to pay any attention to quality. This has resulted in a pattern of making quick money at the cost of the consumer. All-night shopping could bring in employment In Mumbai, the Retailers Association of India (RAI) has welcomed markets being opened around the clock, calling it a ‘win-win’ situation. The consumers will be able to buy things whenever they need. Retailers will be able to bump up sales. With more sales, the state government can collect more revenue. RAI CEO Kumar Rajagopalan believes it could also help boost employment. He predicts jobs to rise by 10% in the retail sector over the next three years. However, former urban planning consultant Sulakshana Mahajan warns that the success of such a project will be difficult to measure. "One of the justifications for such a move is the 24-hour working schedule of many young people, in a globally connected world. However, the actual response will be necessary to evaluate its success," she told <a href="https://theprint.in/talk-point/mumbai-to-stay-open-24x7-more-cities-should-follow-or-fix-creaking-infrastructure-first/353502/">ThePrint.</a> The government currently expects the GDP to grow at a rate of 5% for the year, which is the slowest growth rate for India since 2009.
