In an interview with Al -jazeera Net, the Indian writer specializing in Indian policy and the Yemeni nationalists, Hindu Nielanjan Makhbadia, says that these elections constitute an important station for an “human public” party for two reasons:

- A human party, with the Indian National Congress, is one of the few opposition parties that have influences in more than one state in India, while most of the other opposition parties are limited to a state Most of the time.
Makhbadii believes that if a “human public” party can retain power in Delhi, it will strengthen its position of major opposition force at the national level.
As Makhbadiai explained, these elections are important for the Bharatia Jatata party, because it could not win any elections to form a government in Delhi since 1998, which was far from power in the region.
Muktopadayi considers that the party seeks to rekindle itself by winning the elections with the support of eminent leaders such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Minister of the Interior Amith Shah, the Prime Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Yuji Eddianth, who are All outside the Delhi region. At the same time, this indicates that the party currently lacks a local leader with the same popularity.
