Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: BJP Takes Commanding Lead, AAP Faces Setback
New Delhi, February 8, 2025: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears set for a historic comeback in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, with early trends indicating a strong lead over the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). If the trend continues, this could mark the end of AAP’s decade-long rule in the national capital.
BJP Leads in Early Trends
According to the latest updates, BJP has taken a commanding lead in the electoral race:
- BJP: 45
- AAP: 25
- Congress: 0
The ruling AAP is struggling to hold onto its key constituencies, with its support base shrinking in multiple areas. The Congress, once a dominant force in Delhi, is barely making an impact.
Kejriwal, Sisodia, and Atishi Trailing
A major political shockwave is hitting AAP as its top leaders are trailing in early trends. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is facing a tough challenge from BJP’s Pravesh Verma in New Delhi. Similarly, Manish Sisodia and Atishi Marlena, key AAP leaders, are struggling to retain their seats.
If these trends hold, it could signal a major shift in Delhi’s political landscape, possibly ending AAP’s dominance in the city.
BJP’s Success in Muslim-Dominated Areas
One of the biggest surprises of this election is BJP’s lead in constituencies with a significant Muslim population. Pravesh Verma and Kapil Mishra from BJP are ahead in these regions, indicating a change in voter dynamics.
This development could have far-reaching political implications, as these constituencies have historically favored AAP and Congress.
Why Is BJP Gaining Ground?
Several factors are contributing to BJP’s strong performance:
- Anti-Incumbency Against AAP: After ruling Delhi for a decade, AAP is facing voter fatigue and criticism over governance issues.
- Corruption Allegations: Multiple AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia, have faced legal troubles, weakening the party’s credibility.
- BJP’s Strategic Campaign: BJP focused on issues like law and order, infrastructure, and governance, attracting a broad voter base.
- Shift in Public Sentiment: BJP’s promises, such as Atal Canteens for affordable meals and financial aid for women and senior citizens, resonated with voters.
High Voter Turnout Reflects Public Engagement
Delhi witnessed a voter turnout of 60.5%, indicating strong public participation in shaping the city’s political future.
What’s Next for Delhi?
If BJP maintains its lead and secures victory, it will mark its return to power in Delhi after 27 years. However, AAP still has time to recover in the final stages of counting. The results of this election will shape the future governance and policies of the capital.
