The BJP has secured a majority in the Delhi Assembly elections. Party leaders and workers celebrated their victory across the national capital, with their counterparts in other states also joining in. AAP’s top leaders, including national convenor and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Satyendar Jain, have lost their elections. Kejriwal lost the high-profile New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma by a margin of 4,089 votes. The Bharatiya Janata Party is poised to form a government in Delhi after more than 26 years.
The BJP secured a landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly polls, while AAP suffered a major setback. Anti-incumbency played a key role, with voter dissatisfaction over unfulfilled promises, especially on air quality. BJP’s pitch for Centre-state cooperation also resonated. The ‘Sheesh Mahal’ controversy over Kejriwal’s costly residence renovation further damaged AAP’s clean image. Additionally, the liquor policy scandal and corruption allegations led to arrests of key AAP leaders, including Kejriwal and Sisodia, keeping the party in crisis mode. These factors combined to weaken AAP’s standing, allowing BJP to make a strong comeback in Delhi after 27 years.
