Modi's BJP Wins Delhi Election, Marks Historic Return

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has achieved a significant victory in the Delhi elections, winning 48 out of 70 seats for the first time in 27 years, defeating the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Arvind Kejriwal, which secured only 22 seats. This victory underscores a resurgence in support for Modi following a challenging national election last year, where his party lost its parliamentary majority. Modi promised various welfare measures, including cash handouts for women and support for the elderly, as part of the BJP's campaign to improve the quality of life in Delhi. Kejriwal acknowledged the defeat and expressed hope that the BJP will fulfill its promises. The win is part of a broader trend, with the BJP having claimed victories in several other states recently. Analysts suggest this consolidation of power at both the federal and city levels may enhance administrative coordination in Delhi.
