In a significant political shift, Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won the most seats in New Delhi's state legislature election, taking 47 of the 70 available seats. This victory ends the six-year rule of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which captured only 22 seats. Notably, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy lost their constituencies. The election results signal a strengthening of the BJP's position, especially following a lackluster showing in the previous national elections. BJP leaders celebrate the win as a testament to the faith the public has in Modi's vision for progress.
We accept the mandate of the people with great humility, Kejriwal said in a video statement while congratulating the BJP on its victory. He said he hoped that the BJP would fulfil its election promises.
The BJP's Amit Shah, who is India's powerful home minister, said his party's victory signified that people can't be misled with lies every time. He stated under the leadership of Modi, the BJP would make New Delhi the world's No 1 capital.
A huge upset occurred as both AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, lost their seats despite strong support from their welfare policies and anti-corruption movement.
Waving party flags and posters of Modi, supporters of the BJP chanted slogans and danced outside its headquarters as the vote results began trickling in, with most exit polls predicting the party's win.
