Youtuber Dhruv Rathee is being trolled after BJP's clean sweep win in Delhi Assembly elections after 27 years. With the election results out today, BJP has won 37 seats and are leading on 11 seats, as per the Election Commission of India.

Rathee, who has built a large following for his political commentary, was quick to offer his views on the electoral defeat. In a post on X, Rathee attributed AAP’s loss to multiple factors, including the BJP's sustained efforts to undermine Kejriwal's government.

“AAP lost because no work was being done in Delhi since last few years. And that is because BJP did everything possible to stall the whole functioning of the government. From using LG to halt orders, to their agencies jailing leaders under fake cases to passing new laws. Ever since the GNCTD Act of 2023, Delhi has already being indirectly ruled by BJP,” Dhruv Rathee wrote after AAP’s defeat in Delhi.

“It’s good that people of Delhi can now directly see who is really responsible for all their issues. The only question is whether people will still continue to talk about issues of air pollution, Yamuna pollution, crumbling infrastructure and cleanliness in the coming years. Or will BJP be successful in brainwashing and suppressing people to ignore all this in the name of religious hatred like they’ve done in many other states,” he added.

However, Rathee’s response lead to more trolling and mocking. His critics, many of whom support the BJP, pointed out that Rathee’s recent videos had consistently forecasted an AAP win, making his current reaction seem out of touch with the electoral reality.
