New Delhi: The Narendra Modi factor will hardly help BJP’s fortunes in Delhi, believes Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal who said that 'even God can't save' the saffron party as it seeks to wrest power here.

“BJP ko Delhi mein Bhagwan bhi nahi bacha sakte, toh Modi kya bacha payenge (Even God can’t save BJP in Delhi, what can Modi do)?” Kejriwal said during a press interaction here.
And, as the political atmosphere hots up in Delhi ahead of the December 4 Assembly elections, Kejriwal responded to comments by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit that he had no experience of governance saying that neither did she have any prior experience of running a state before coming to power.
But the AAP leader noted that Congress acknowledges he was a ‘honhar’ (talented) candidate. “Congress has acknowledged that our intentions are clear and that I am ‘honhar’.
Dikshit has said I am ‘honhar’ and, during one of their programmes, Congress MP Dipender Hooda accepted that our intentions were clear,” Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal reiterated AAP’s stand of not supporting any party if voters here returned a split verdict following the elections. “We will neither take support from nor extend support to any party in case there is a hung Assembly,” he said.
Referring to reports of empty seats at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s rally in the city on Sunday, Kejriwal said, “it shows people are fed up.”
Asked about the AAP campaign missing Anna Hazare, Kejriwal said that if the anti-corruption crusader had been with him, he would have been a “thousand times stronger”.
