The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won the Delhi Assembly elections with a big majority, ending the rule of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This victory marks BJP’s return to power in the national capital after nearly 27 years. The election results show that BJP won 47 out of 70 seats, while AAP, which had been in power since 2015, managed only 22 seats. The Congress party failed to win any seats.
The results are a huge blow to AAP, which had won the last two Delhi elections with large majorities. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia both lost their seats, showing a major shift in public support. Kejriwal lost the New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma, while Sisodia was defeated in Jangpura by BJP’s Tarvinder Singh Marwah. Many other AAP leaders also lost their seats.
BJP’s strong campaign played a big role in its success. The party focused on development, better governance, and tackling corruption. It also benefited from a divided opposition. Congress, which was once a strong party in Delhi, did not win a single seat, making the election a direct fight between BJP and AAP.
The BJP’s campaign highlighted issues such as better roads, housing, and security. Many voters believed that BJP, which also runs the central government, could bring faster development to the city.
AAP’s loss has raised many questions. The party, which once promised change and transparency, faced criticism over corruption allegations. Some voters felt that Kejriwal’s government did not deliver on its promises as expected.
While AAP had focused on improving schools and hospitals, the BJP was able to convince voters that a change in leadership was needed. The loss of Kejriwal and Sisodia, who were seen as the party’s strongest leaders, is a major setback for AAP.
The Congress party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years before AAP, has once again failed to make an impact. This election result shows that Congress has lost its support in the national capital. The party needs to rethink its strategies if it wants to remain relevant in Delhi politics.
Now that BJP has won, it faces the challenge of delivering on its promises.
Winning Delhi is a big achievement for BJP, especially before the next national elections. This victory strengthens BJP’s position not just in Delhi but across the country. It also boosts Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership ahead of future elections.
This election marks the beginning of a new political chapter for Delhi. With BJP in power, the city is set for major policy changes. Meanwhile, AAP will have to work hard to regain the trust of voters. The coming years will determine how this shift in power affects the future of Delhi’s governance.
