BJP Secures Victory in Delhi Elections, According to Admission from Arvind Kejriwal
In a surprising turn of events, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has conceded defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, marking a significant setback for the party that had dominated the political landscape of the city for the past decade.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a strong comeback in Delhi, riding on a wave of support. By February 8, 2025, the BJP had taken a commanding lead, having secured 47 out of 70 assembly seats. This resounding victory set the stage for the BJP to form the government in Delhi, marking a turning point in the state's political trajectory.
AAP's national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, acknowledged the election results and congratulated the BJP in a video message. He stated that AAP's political journey was driven by service rather than power, and that the party would not only play the role of a constructive opposition but would also be available to the people of Delhi in the next five years. Kejriwal expressed gratitude to AAP workers for their efforts during the election coverage.
However, Kejriwal himself lagged behind BJP candidate Parvesh Verma in his constituency. Similarly, AAP's deputy Manish Sisodia trailed against BJP's Tarvinder Singh Marwah. The AAP was left with only 23 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections.
The Congress party, which had been eyeing a revival, failed to make an impact and is poised for a third consecutive washout.
Kejriwal reassured his supporters that AAP would continue working for the people, even from the opposition benches. He highlighted AAP's contributions to Delhi's development, mentioning work done in education, water, electricity, and infrastructure to provide relief to Delhiites.
The new Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, was sworn in after the BJP won 48 out of 70 seats. Gupta is the first BJP Chief Minister of Delhi in 27 years.
In a related development, the BJP's national leader made a statement about trying to create chaos in India, comparing it to situations in Nepal and Lanka. However, this statement requires contextual understanding and is not a standalone fact.
This news article is based on factual bullet points and aims to provide a clear and straightforward account of the Delhi Assembly elections results and their implications.
