Why Delhi Election 2025 is AAP’s toughest test vs BJP’s prestige gamble – explained in 5 key points

Live Mint  

Delhi Election 2025: Delhi will vote on February 5 to elect its new government. Toughest Test for AAP The AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, is contesting its fourth assembly election in the national capital since 2012 when it was born out of anti-graft movement centered in Delhi. The BJP was left with single-digit seats in the Delhi assembly in the last two elections, and the Congress completely wiped out after ruling Delhi for 15 years before 2013. The AAP is seeking a third straight term in Delhi in the February 5 polls – perhaps its biggest battle ever battling an anti-incumbency of ten years and its leaders faced with corruption allegations. BJP state unit chief Virendra Sachdeva called AAP dispensation in Delhi the government of ‘criminals on bail.’ For the Congress, Delhi is another of its many strongholds that it lost in recent years.
