New Delhi: Amidst most of the Opinion polls giving an edge to the AAP in Delhi elections, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday said the electoral mandate in the national capital cannot be seen as a referendum on the performance of Narendra Modi government at the Centre. "It is the election for the Chief Minister and not for the PM. Modi is not fighting Assembly elections. It is a state election. You are going to elect a Chief Minister not a Prime Minister. It is the BJP versus the rest.
That is all," Naidu said. However, he defended his party's aggressive campaign to win Delhi polls, saying the mood of the country now was to strengthen the hands of the Prime Minister, who is trying to bring a transformation and Delhi being the capital, naturally acquires importance. Dismissing that Delhi polls were Modi versus Arvind Kejriwal, he said, "Who is Kejriwal. He fought Parliamentary elections. See, what happened. The same thing is going to happen to him here also.
