CLOZE TEST-TEST 27

In contrast to the nationalistic thrust of the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) campaign is completely centred on local issues and on egalitarian deliveries that the state government has made in the past five years. Arvind Kejriwal has been politically
(A)............. and while he has been critical of the government for its CAA-NRC pincer, he has not championed the cause of protesters. He in fact, neither visited Shaheen Bagh nor Jawaharlal Nehru University. Smartly, he has lent support to students of the university too, but did not wear their cause on his sleeve. Kejriwal has made a conscious bid to insulate (B)........................... It is evident that he was aware that the BJP, bereft of local issues and floundering on the economic front at the national level, would eventually replay its old tracks. The BJP has done this amply. (C) Before Shah’s statement eliciting people’s anger, Modi has infamously asserting that the agitators could be “recognised” by the “clothes, they wear.” Furthermore, at a recent party event, he said there was no need to pursue inclusive politics. The BJP’s task has become more difficult because it cannot criticise Kejriwal for his largesse and consistent distribution of freebies to the people. (D) The BJP government at the Centre, it may be front, publicised its micro-economic deliveries to offset it failure on the macro-economic recalled. Kejriwal is also not very consultative on party matters and has at times appeared to mirror Modi in terms of persona and work style. He has learnt his lessons and jettisoned the image of being of a whiner and someone given to disrupting governance. The BJP missed reading what Kejriwal was upto in the months leading the polls and appears certain to pay the price for this. The BJP will certainly hope for a split in the anti-BJP vote and wish the Congress (E) garners enough votes in every constituency to give it a fighting chance. But the Congress remains (F)............ at the local level as well as nationally. Since 2013 when the AAP made a transition from being a movement to a party, the polity in the Capital has become progressively bipolar. With the Congress having done little to reverse this process and secure the confidence of voters, it remains headed for benches reserved for also-rans. It is  important for Modi and the BJP to regain political momentum because another reverse in the capital will hamper poll preparations in Bihar. With the Northeast already in ferment over CAA the stakes for the BJP have become bigger. There are still several days before Delhi goes to the polls and importantly, Modi is yet to get into campaign mode. But, the AAP has a captive support base which may well be guide.
