Delhi Assembly Election Results: Who are the giant winners and biggest losers?

<p>The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections mark a historic shift as BJP secures 48 seats, ending AAP&rsquo;s dominance. Arvind Kejriwal and top AAP leaders suffer defeats, while Congress fails to win a single seat again.</p>

<p>The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections have delivered a historic verdict, bringing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) back to power in the national capital after 27 years.</p>
<p>With the final vote count completed, the BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) managed only 22&mdash;marking a significant decline from its 2020 tally of 62.</p>
<p>The Congress, continuing its downward spiral, failed to win a single seat for the third consecutive election.</p>
<h3><strong>A Resounding Victory for BJP</strong></h3>
<p>The BJP&rsquo;s triumph marks a major political shift in Delhi, where AAP had dominated for over a decade. The party&rsquo;s return to power is being seen as an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s leadership and a rejection of AAP&rsquo;s governance.</p>

<h3><strong>Biggest Losers: AAP&rsquo;s Top Brass Faces Defeat</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Arvind Kejriwal (New Delhi)</strong></p>
<p>Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal suffered a shocking defeat in the New Delhi constituency. <br><br>BJP&rsquo;s Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma won by a margin of 4,089 votes, securing 30,088 votes against Kejriwal&rsquo;s 25,999. Congress&rsquo; Sandeep Dikshit finished a distant third with 4,568 votes.</p>

<p><strong>Manish Sisodia (Jangpura)</strong></p>
<p>Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia lost to BJP&rsquo;s Tarvinder Singh Marwah by 675 votes in Jangpura. Sisodia&rsquo;s defeat underscores the collapse of AAP&rsquo;s stronghold in Delhi, where he had previously been a key figure in the party&rsquo;s governance.</p>

<p><strong>Saurabh Bharadwaj (Greater Kailash)</strong></p>
<p>BJP&rsquo;s Shikha Roy emerged victorious in Greater Kailash, defeating AAP&rsquo;s Saurabh Bharadwaj by 3,188 votes. This outcome highlights BJP&rsquo;s inroads into constituencies that were once considered AAP bastions.</p>
<p><strong>Satyendar Jain (Shakur Basti)</strong></p>
<p>BJP&rsquo;s Karnail Singh won the Shakur Basti constituency by a massive 21,000-vote margin, defeating former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain. This marks a dramatic fall from Jain&rsquo;s previous victories in 2015 and 2020, where he had won comfortably.</p>
<h3><strong>Giant Winners: BJP&rsquo;s Game-Changers</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma (New Delhi)</strong></p>
<p>The biggest highlight of BJP&rsquo;s victory was Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma&rsquo;s win against Kejriwal in New Delhi. His triumph is being hailed as a turning point in Delhi&rsquo;s political landscape.</p>

<p><strong>Tarvinder Singh Marwah (Jangpura)</strong></p>
<p>BJP&rsquo;s Tarvinder Singh Marwah defeated AAP&rsquo;s Manish Sisodia in Jangpura, marking one of the biggest upsets of the election. His victory reflects the voter shift away from AAP&rsquo;s leadership.</p>
<h3><strong>Congress&rsquo; Irrelevance Continues</strong></h3>
<p>Once a dominant force in Delhi politics, the Congress party suffered its third consecutive zero-seat result. Its failure to win a single seat since 2015 highlights its diminishing role in the capital&rsquo;s political landscape.</p>
<p>Prominent Congress leaders, including Alka Lamba, performed poorly, securing less than 5,000 votes in key constituencies.</p>
<h3><strong>What This Means for Delhi?</strong></h3>

PM Modi declares Delhi ‘AAP-da free’, slams AAP’s corruption & Congress’ irrelevance in historic BJP win

<p>PM Modi celebrated BJP&rsquo;s victory at party headquarters in Delhi and criticized AAP&rsquo;s corruption, while calling Congress irrelevant. PM also promised good governance and probes into AAP scams.</p>

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the people of Delhi for putting an end to the "lies and deception" politics of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by giving a clear mandate to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assembly elections.</p>
<p>He said that people have put an end to "short-cut" politics of Kejriwal and removed a "major obstacle" in the way of Delhi's development.</p>

<p>"Delhi's mandate also clarified that there is no place for shortcuts or lies and deception in politics. Janata ne short cut rajneeti ka short circuit kar diya (People have short-circuited the politics of shortcut)," PM Modi said while addressing a gathering at the party's headquarters after the resounding victory in assembly polls.</p>
<h3><strong>BJP's Return to Power</strong></h3>
<p>BJP has won 48 seats, while AAP has won just 22 seats against 62 in the 2020 assembly polls.</p>
<p>The BJP is returning to power in the national capital after 27 years, ending over 10 years of Aam Aadmi Party rule.</p>
<p>Several AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, and three-time MLA Somnath Bharti, lost from their strongholds.</p>
<h3><strong>Criticism of AAP's Politics</strong></h3>
<p>The PM slammed the AAP's politics of "protests, confrontation, and administrative uncertainty."</p>
<p>"Today, you Delhiites have removed a major obstacle in the way of Delhi's development," PM Modi added</p>
<p>. Lashing out at AAP, he said, "The real owner of Delhi is only the people of Delhi. Those who thought of being the owners of Delhi have been confronted with the truth."</p>
<h3><strong>PM Modi on Anna Hazare</strong></h3>
<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Anna Hazare must have got some relief from pain following AAP's defeat in the Delhi Assembly election. He added that Hazare had been "bearing the pain of the misdeeds of these people for a long time."</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, Anna Hazare had criticised AAP for their alleged involvement in controversies surrounding liquor and money.</p>
<p>PM Modi said AAP was born out of the movement against corruption but became deeply involved in it.</p>
<p>"The party born out of the movement against corruption got involved in corruption. It became such a party of the country whose Chief Minister and Ministers went to jail on corruption charges. Those who used to give themselves certificates of honesty turned out to be corrupt. This was a big betrayal with Delhi," PM Modi said.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>AAP's Scams and Arrogance</strong></h3>
<p>PM Modi further attacked AAP, stating that the liquor scam had defamed Delhi. "The scams in schools and hospitals troubled the poorest of the poor, and on top of that, their arrogance was so much that when the world was dealing with Corona, these people were building 'Sheesh Mahal'."</p>
<p>Earlier, Anna Hazare had said that AAP did not understand the importance of character in politics, which led to their downfall.</p>
<p>He remarked, "They got tangled in liquor and money - his (Arvind Kejriwal's) image was dented because of it and that's why they are getting fewer votes in the election."</p>
<h3><strong>Promise of Good Governance</strong></h3>
<p>PM Modi assured the people of Delhi of "good governance" and highlighted the public's trust in a double-engine government.</p>

After that victory in the Lok Sabha elections, we first made an unprecedented record in Haryana, then made a new record in Maharashtra. Now, a new history has been created in Delhi," PM Modi said.</p>
<h3><strong>Support from the Purvanchal Community</strong></h3>
<p>PM Modi also acknowledged the people from East Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, living in Delhi, who were instrumental in BJP's victory, noting that he is an MP from Varanasi, which comes under the 'Purvanchal' region.</p>

<p>Addressing a gathering at the party headquarters after the party's resounding victory in assembly polls, PM Modi said BJP will return the love of the people of Delhi in the form of progress and development. He took jibes at the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, referring to it as "AAPda (tragedy)."</p>

<h3><strong>AAP's Corruption to Be Investigated</strong></h3>
<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over allegations of corruption against its leaders, saying that all links of such charges will be probed and those who "looted" money will have to return it.</p>

<p>"These AAP-da people resorted to conspiracies every day to hide their scams. Now, the Delhi poll verdict has come.

<p>Targeting AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, PM Modi said that those who gave certificates to others are now facing allegations of corruption.</p>
<p>The BJP has also been taking "Sheeshmahal" jibes at Kejriwal. In his speech, PM Modi thanked the people of Delhi for their support and reiterated their relief at making the national capital "AAP-da free."</p>
<h3><strong>BJP's Future Commitments</strong></h3>
<p>Meanwhile, BJP leader Parvesh Verma said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will work to fulfill its commitments to the people of Delhi, with setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe corruption under the Aam Aadmi Party government among its top priorities.</p>

<h3><strong>NDA's "Vikas ki Guarantee"</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>BJP's Governance Model</strong></h3>
<p>Citing examples of BJP's governance in states where the NDA remains in power, PM Modi pointed out the persistence of law and order problems in Uttar Pradesh before the BJP came to power, where women faced major challenges.</p>

<p>"At one point in time, the law and order problem remained in Uttar Pradesh. The major challenge was for women. Dimaagi bukhaar (encephalitis) wreaked havoc. However, we worked with determination to resolve it," PM Modi said.</p>
<p>He further emphasized the transformation under NDA rule in states like Maharashtra, Haryana, Gujarat, and Bihar, asserting that "good governance benefits the poor and the middle class. The poor living in jhuggis and the middle class provided immense support to the BJP."</p>

BJP secures a historic victory in Delhi after 27 years, defeating AAP as key leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, lose their seats. PM Modi hails the win as a triumph of good governance, while Congress fails to secure any seat once again.

Delhi Elections 2025: BJP returns to power after 27 years, AAP faces crushing defeat

<p>BJP secures a historic victory in Delhi after 27 years, defeating AAP as key leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, lose their seats. PM Modi hails the win as a triumph of good governance, while Congress fails to secure any seat once again.</p>

<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic victory in the Delhi Assembly elections on Saturday, reclaiming power in the national capital after 27 years.</p>
<p>The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faced a major defeat, with several key leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, losing in their strongholds.</p>
<p>This win further strengthens the BJP&rsquo;s hold on national politics, following its recent electoral successes in Maharashtra and Haryana.</p>
<p>The Congress, which had hoped for a revival in Delhi, failed to secure a single seat once again, marking its third consecutive zero tally in the assembly elections. The party had previously ruled Delhi for 15 years, from 1998 to 2013.</p>
<p>BJP won 48 out of 70 seats, while AAP secured 22 seats.</p>

<p>"Farmers in the national capital were tired of the 'AAP-da' government. Now the farmers will benefit from the policies of the Central government," Chouhan said.</p>
<p>The BJP had deployed several chief ministers and senior leaders across the country to campaign for the elections.</p>
<p>Chief Ministers Yogi Adityanath (Uttar Pradesh), Devendra Fadnavis (Maharashtra), Mohan Yadav (Madhya Pradesh), Nayab Singh Saini (Haryana), Pushkar Singh Dhami (Uttarakhand), Pramod Sawant (Goa), and Bhajanlal Sharma (Rajasthan) were actively engaged in election rallies, public meetings, and roadshows.</p>
<p>Key NDA partners, including Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena), Ajit Pawar (NCP), K Rammohan Naidu (TDP), and Chirag Paswan (LJSP-RV), praised Modi&rsquo;s leadership and Shah&rsquo;s election strategy.</p>
<p>"BJP got this success due to the trust in Narendra Modi's leadership and the accurate management of Amit Shah," said NCP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sunetra Pawar.</p>
<p>Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar congratulated Modi, Shah, and BJP President J.P. Nadda for the party&rsquo;s impressive performance in Delhi.</p>
<p>"Modi ji&rsquo;s guarantees have worked wonders in Delhi... After Maharashtra, the voters of Delhi have expressed faith in the leadership of Modi. The victory run of the BJP continues," Shinde stated, adding that voters had avoided a "disaster" and taught the Congress a lesson for making false claims about the Constitution being in danger.</p>
<p>JD(U) national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said that Delhiites had fully rejected AAP&rsquo;s governance, paving the way for better administration.</p>
<p>"Good days are coming for the people of Delhi as the same party ruling the Centre and the city will bring them a lot of benefits," Prasad noted.</p>
<p>Union Minister and TDP leader K Rammohan Naidu said the massive mandate reflected the public&rsquo;s confidence in a government that delivers on its commitments.</p>
<p>"With a double-engine Sarkar in state and Centre, the capital region is set to soar to new heights of prosperity and growth. Together, the NDA government will fulfill the aspirations of every Delhiite and build a stronger, brighter future for our great city," Naidu said.</p>
