BJP Wins 2025 Delhi Elections, Ends AAP Rule

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won the 2025 Delhi elections, ending a decade-long rule of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by securing 48 of 70 assembly seats. The victory is attributed to BJP's strategic campaigning and support from upper castes and OBCs, along with promises to improve governance. AAP, despite its welfare policies and anti-corruption stance, lost its stronghold among Dalit and Muslim voters amid corruption allegations. The new assembly sees a decrease in female representation but a rise in legislators with graduate degrees. AAP plans to expand beyond Delhi and focus on being a constructive opposition to ensure BJP fulfills promises related to women's welfare and free electricity. The election reflects a shift in voter priorities towards transactional and aspirational demands.
