How the AAP lost its plot and office in Delhi
Hindustan TimesHow did the BJP win the national capital, which also happens to be the nation’s political capital? Despite sweeping the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi multiple times in the past three decades, the BJP had to reconcile with the main Opposition’s slot in successive assembly polls. The fact that the AAP has been in power in the Delhi Municipal Corporation since 2022 did not help the party’s cause. With a higher proportion of men in the electorate and a relatively large middle class, the AAP’s equation would have worked only if women and the poor turned out in much higher numbers – the voter turnout this time was 60.54%, two percentage points lower compared to 62.59% in 2020. But Kejriwal’s loss in the New Delhi seat will hurt: the party’s narrative that the corruption cases were part of a political conspiracy did not find traction with voters.
