On Saturday evening, hours after the results of the Delhi Assembly elections were announced, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that a “new history” had been written in the Capital.
The BJP, which won 48 out of the 70 Assembly seats, will return to power in Delhi after 27 years. “This is not an ordinary victory. The people of Delhi have driven out ‘AAP-da’. Delhi has been freed from the ‘AAP-da’,” PM Modi said. Bharatiya Janata Party defeated the Aam Aadmi Party by 25 seats in the Delhi assembly elections after 27 years.
According to the Election Commission of India, BJP won 47 seats while AAP was restricted to 22. And Congress is just a mere audience in this election. After 27 years of drought in Delhi politics, the BJP is making a coming back.
Prime Minister wrote on X, “Development wins, good governance triumphs,” and added that his party would leave no stone unturned in developing Delhi.
In the first State Assembly election of the year, the stakes were high for all contenders, the BJP, the AAP, and the Congress. The AAP has governed Delhi since 2013, with voters backing its strong record of welfare politics.
But recent scandals and corruption charges involving its leaders, particularly party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, have dented the party’s image.
