Verma, contesting from the New Delhi Assembly seat, engaged in door-to-door interactions, assuring residents of resolving local issues if elected. While campaigning in the narrow lanes of Kalibari, Verma held the hand of an elderly woman and promised better civic amenities.
The atmosphere was lively as campaigners and locals enthusiastically participated. His campaign style focused on making personal connections with the residents while engaging in one-on-one conversations and listening to their concerns.
A particularly poignant moment was when a girl with disability, waving the BJP flag and donning a campaign cap, followed the procession from start to finish. Her presence symbolized Verma's broad and inclusive campaign. Children in orange hoodies with BJP logos danced to the party's campaign song, while others pasted posters and stickers on walls to spread Verma’s message.
Among the crowd was Ratan Chauhan, hailing from Bihar, dressed as the iconic character from the movie PK, wearing an orange shirt and skirt and holding a transistor. Carrying BJP pamphlets, he delivered an engaging message to voters, "Mai dusre 'gola' se yaha aaya hoon, logo ko batane ki Kamal pe vote dena hai."
During the campaign, Verma visited a local temple, where the priest offered him a red scarf and prasad. Energized supporters chanted "Parvesh Bhaiya ko Jai Shree Ram" and "2 number lucky hai, jeet humari pakki hai," showing their enthusiasm for his candidacy.
Throughout the campaign, residents greeted Verma with garlands and shawls, while he reciprocated by touching the feet of elders, seeking blessings.
"Humpe ashirwaad banaye rakhiyega," Verma humbly told the crowd, asking for their support in the February 5 elections.
The streets filled with orange BJP flags, posters, and rhythmic beats of drummers, amplified the energy of the procession. Supporters danced and chanted, adding momentum to Verma's campaign ahead of the February 8 results for Delhi Assembly polls.
Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a three-way contest between AAP, Congress, and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
