The Caravan Baatcheet is back with its signature incisive discussions, complete with a fresh look. In this episode, host Vishnu Sharma talks to our contributing writer Sunil Kashyap about the high-stakes battle of the 2025 Delhi Elections. Kashyap explains how Arvind Kejriwal’s popularity remains a thorn in the BJP’s side, forcing it to adjust its strategies. He argues that the BJP has struggled to use its Hindutva narrative effectively against Kejriwal, instead turning to caste-based dynamics to counter him.
Kashyap points out that this election is more than just a Delhi contest—it’s a stage for testing strategies that will shape upcoming elections in Bihar, Bengal, and ultimately, the 2029 general elections. He highlights how discord within the INDIA bloc, ranging from seat-sharing disputes to internal disagreements, contrasts with the BJP’s united front. The discussion also explores BJP’s new approach of promising the chief ministership to representatives from specific communities, including Jats, Dalits, Punjabis, and Banias, while accusing Kejriwal of empowering divisive figures like Parvesh Verma and Ramesh Bidhuri.
