The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections have marked a dramatic shift in the city’s political landscape as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made a stunning comeback after 27 years in the political wilderness. The party secured 48 of the 70 seats, comfortably crossing the halfway mark of 36, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had dominated the last two elections, managed to win only 22 seats. This result comes as a massive blow to AAP, ending its decade-long rule and leading to the unseating of its prominent leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, who lost his New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma in a nail-biting contest. The victory marks a major political turnaround after BJP's dismal performance in the 2020 elections.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his victory speech, sharply criticized the AAP government for failing to address urban issues such as broken roads, overflowing sewers, garbage piles, and air pollution in the city. He contrasted this with the BJP’s vision for urbanization, emphasizing that it should be viewed as an opportunity to empower the marginalized and improve the lives of the poor. Despite the heavy defeat, Kejriwal accepted the people’s verdict and pledged that his party would play a “constructive opposition” role, reaffirming that AAP’s focus has always been on serving the people rather than seeking political power. The Delhi elections, held on February 5, saw a voter turnout of 60.54%, with a notable drop from 2020, reflecting the shifting political sentiments in the city.
Congress, which had been a key player in Delhi politics in previous years, was once again unable to make a dent in the election results. For the third consecutive election, the party failed to win a single seat, cementing its decline in the capital. Rahul Gandhi, acknowledging the defeat, expressed gratitude to Congress workers and voters, while vowing to continue fighting for the rights of Delhiites on issues like pollution, price rise, and corruption. Meanwhile, former anti-corruption movement leader Anna Hazare commented on AAP’s downfall, pointing to the liquor policy scandal that tarnished the party’s image. The election results set the stage for a new political era in Delhi, with BJP firmly in control after an unexpected and overwhelming victory.
