Reuters[/caption] Mishra, who has been fielded as the BJP’s candidate from the Model Town constituency, courted controversy recently when he tweeted on 23 January that the upcoming polls will be a contest “between India and Pakistan”. Mishra was criticising the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests in different parts of the city and tweeted, “India vs Pakistan 8th February Delhi. There will be a contest on Delhi Roads between India and Pakistan on February 8.” The Election Commission on 25 January imposed a 48-hour campaigning ban on Mishra. Past election results: BJP fielded Bisht in 2013, when he won by a margin of around 3,000 votes after a close fight with the AAP candidate. However, in the 2015 election, Mishra, who was fielded as the AAP candidate, won an easy victory over Bisht. The constituency has traditionally supported the BJP, with the saffron party’s candidates winning the seat since the 1993 election until the 2015 polls, when the then AAP candidate Mishra won. BJP’s Bisht is a four-time MLA from the constituency, winning the seat from 1998 to 2015.
