As a part of its campaign, the BJP also released a series of newspaper advertisements targeting the Aam Aadmi Party.
The 2015 Delhi Legislative assembly saw the Aam Aadmi Party secured an absolute majority in the assembly, winning 67 of the 70 seats. The rallies and roadshows of Arvind Kejriwal while campaigning in 2015 were a great success, drawing large enthusiastic crowds.
