Opinion: 3 Critical Factors Behind AAP’s Delhi Loss, And 1 Strong Message It Sends Out

ABP News  

The results of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections have painted a grim picture for the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party, with party supremo Arvind Kejriwal conceding defeat to BJP candidate Parvesh Sharma in his stronghold of New Delhi by a margin of 3,182 votes. A closer analysis of the election results highlights several critical factors that contributed to AAP’s defeat, marking a significant shift in Delhi’s political narrative. Secondly, Kejriwal’s carefully crafted image as an “aam aadmi” and his party’s “corruption-free governance” narrative came under severe scrutiny following his alleged involvement and subsequent arrest in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam. Thirdly, while AAP remains a key partner in the I.N.D.I.A alliance, formed under the leadership of the Congress party, the failure of both parties to forge an electoral alliance — and, more significantly, Congress’s strategic focus on undermining AAP in retaliation for its setbacks in the Punjab and Goa elections — also contributed to AAP’s defeat. An early analysis of the total vote share suggests that the Bharatiya Janata Party, through a well-calibrated political strategy, successfully consolidated its voter base across caste and demographic lines, while also chipping away at AAP’s traditional support.
