Opinion: Delhi's Middle Class 'Wave' Election - Can Kejriwal script a comeback?

India Today  

In February 2015, a friend of mine voted for the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi assembly elections. In the voting preferences of my friend – a representative of Delhi’s affluent middle class – lies the core reason why AAP and Arvind Kejriwal lost the 2025 elections. In a sense, the 2025 verdict was the ultimate middle class ‘wave’ election at play, one where voters expressed a sense of anger and disquiet with the AAP’s style of functioning. When a bright-eyed Kejriwal in an over-sized muffler moved around Delhi in a small blue Wagon R car, the middle class cheered him on. While the Delhi verdict saw a middle class rejection of Brand Kejriwal, there was an equally strong endorsement by lower income groups of the AAP’s jhadoo, a political symbol identified with a certain class identity.
