'Shaheen Bagh' becomes the key issue of Delhi Elections 2020

The focus of Delhi assembly elections has been shifted to Shaheen Bagh protests in Delhi, as parties are now making it one of the poll issues. On one hand, BJP leader Amit Shah attacked the opposition leaders including AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that voting for the saffron party in Delhi polls will prevent "thousands of incidents like Shaheen Bagh."

On the other hand, accusing the BJP of playing "dirty politics" over the issue of road blockades, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the saffron party does not want to open Shaheen Bagh at Kalindi Kunj where protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are taking place.
