1. AAP and BJP's stance on CAA, NRC

One look at AAP's and BJP's approachtowards the whole CAA and NRC fiasco, and it can be noticed that the parties took a completely polar opposite stance. Whenever the CAA and NRC question arose, AAP remained mum and took a moderate stance whenever they put out an opinion on those issues.

BJP, on the other hand, attacked the anti-CAA and anti-NRC protests with fervent pitch. Their leaderswere vocal while arguing for the controversial topics, and aggressive while criticisingthe critics. The difference in approach might have impacted the voters in deciding which EVM button to push. (Photo credit: Sajith Kumar)

2. AAP's focus on their own report card

Aam Aadmi Party chose the route of focusing on their own 'report card', i.e, the work done by them in the last five years. Arvind Kejriwal never shied away from showcasing the works done by his party, and he even said, "Vote for us if you believe we have worked". (Photo credit: Sajith Kumar)

3. The 'development' campaign of AAP

In their campaign for the Delhi Assembly Election 2020, AAP stressed on the 'development' done by them in the last five years. The AAP leadershighlighted the work done for the government schools, the healthcare sector by opening 'Mohalla clinics', which might have struck a chord with the voters.(Photo credit: Sajith Kumar)

4. AAP had a CM face, BJP did not

Like the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, BJP decided to fight the Delhielection without a Chief Ministerial face. AAP on the other hand, had already the popular image of Arvind Kejriwal as the one to become the Chief Minister again. It may have given the voters a sense of trust who had a face they could rely on.(Photo credit: Sajith Kumar)
