BJP Back In Power In Delhi With A Win As Big As 26-Year Wait, Personal Blow To Kejriwal After 3 Terms
ABP NewsCall it the result of the Modi government’s last-minute tax bonanza or just voter fatigue with the Aam Aadmi Party, but the Bharatiya Janata Party scored a decisive win in the 2025 Delhi assembly election on Saturday. To emphasise just how long the BJP has been out of power in Delhi: As of 1998, Narendra Modi hadn’t even become Gujarat chief minister, Rahul Gandhi was still working with a management consultancy firm in London, Arvind Kejriwal was just 3 years into his Indian Revenue Service stint, and Chief Minister Atishi was yet a minor. Former CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal accepted defeat with the promise of being proactive as the sole Opposition party in the capital, while Narendra Modi — the face of the BJP campaign in the absence of a CM candidate — hailed the verdict as a win for development. Notably, the election resulted in a personal defeat for Kejriwal and his former deputy CM Manish Sisodia, both of whom have been accused of irregularities in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. OPINION | From ‘Referendum On Kejriwal’ To A ‘Class Battle’ — 4 Key Takeaways From BJP Landslide In Delhi Election 2025 The Big Stories Of This Election Parvesh Verma’s win from New Delhi — a seat formerly held by former CM Sheila Dikshit — is one of the big stories of the Delhi assembly election 2025.
