BJP leaders react after Delhi Election Result shows BJP’s victory

The New Delhi constituency, which recorded a voter turnout of 56.41% on February 5, is a key seat known for its diverse electorate and fiercely contested elections. This constituency is witnessing a high-stakes poll battle with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal pitted against Parvesh Verma and Sandeep Dixit -- both sons of two former chief ministers. For the Congress, the contest with Kejriwal is a prestige battle given that it was Sandeep Dikshit's mother and incumbent CM Sheila Dikshit who was defeated from here. The stakes are high for Kejriwal who has already won this seat thrice but faces headwinds over his alleged involvement in graft cases. The BJP, which has never won the seat since 1977, is hoping to send a big message by defeating the former CM from the high-profile seat.
