The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finally managed to breach the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) stronghold in Delhi after 27 years, securing a decisive victory in the Assembly elections. With the AAP suffering a massive rout after an unchallenged decade, the Congress, too, recorded its third consecutive electoral failure.

Here are the top 10 developments from the high-stakes Delhi Assembly elections:

  1. BJP’s Historic Win: The BJP is set to form the Delhi government for the first time in 27 years, winning 15 seats and leading on 32 others, as per the Election Commission of India (ECI).
  2. AAP’s Dramatic Fall: After ruling Delhi for a decade, the AAP has been reduced to 23 seats, a sharp decline from its previous dominance in the assembly.
  3. Congress Wiped Out Again: For the third consecutive election, the Congress has failed to secure a single seat, marking one of its worst performances in Delhi.
  4. Kejriwal Accepts Defeat: Outgoing Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal conceded defeat, congratulating BJP and urging them to fulfill their promises.
  5. AAP’s Legacy in Focus: Despite the loss, Kejriwal emphasized his party’s contributions to education, healthcare, and infrastructure, vowing to remain a “constructive opposition.”
  6. BJP’s Strongholds Expand: The saffron party made inroads into AAP’s bastions, winning Shalimar Bagh, Rajouri Garden, Tri Nagar, Rajinder Nagar, Sangam Vihar, Greater Kailash, Patparganj, and Gandhi Nagar.
  7. AAP’s Remaining Strongholds: The party managed to retain seats like Kondli, Delhi Cantt, Sultanpur Majra, Sadar Bazar, Chandni Chowk, Ballimaran, Tilak Nagar, Tughlaqabad, and Babarpur.
  8. Massive Celebrations at BJP Headquarters: Jubilant BJP workers gathered at the party office in New Delhi, celebrating with firecrackers, music, and dancing as they anticipated their return to power.
  9. Rajnath Singh’s Message: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the victory, expressing gratitude to Delhi voters and congratulating PM Narendra Modi, BJP chief JP Nadda, and Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva.
  10. Implications for 2024: The BJP’s consistent focus on national issues and strong leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi resonated with Delhi voters, contributing to its success in both the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
