Goel's functional campaign

Vyas' public display of religiosity may attract attention because her party, the Congress, is ostensibly secular. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) need not have such qualms, being a Hindu nationalist party by ideology. Its Delhi unit President Vijay Goel has, in fact, gone one step further in his electioneering campaign for the Assembly polls this time. Having been out of power in the state for 14 years, he has decided to hold kitty-parties for women and girls and organise religious functions in residential colonies to get people to vote for the BJP.
