The BJP is poised to form the government in Delhi after a 27-year hiatus, following its resounding victory in the Assembly elections by winning 48 seats. High-level meetings are underway in New Delhi to select the next Chief Minister, with five prominent leaders emerging as contenders, including Parvesh Verma and Vijender Gupta. The oath ceremony for the new CM is expected to take place after Prime Minister Modi returns from his US visit on February 13. The decision will be finalized by the party’s central leadership, with suggestions that a fresh face or even a woman candidate might lead the government.

Atishi resigned as Delhi Chief Minister on Sunday after AAP’s massive defeat in the assembly elections, submitting her resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. The BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, ending AAP’s decade-long rule. Atishi, who took office in September after Arvind Kejriwal stepped down over corruption allegations, retained her Kalkaji seat but saw key AAP leaders, including Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, lose. “This is not a time for celebration—this is a time to fight,” Atishi said, vowing to oppose the BJP’s rule. The Assembly was dissolved, and the BJP is set to form the next government.

As AAP faces a crushing defeat in the Delhi elections, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal’s cryptic post depicting Draupadi’s cheerharan from the Mahabharata has drawn attention. The post, seen as a dig at Arvind Kejriwal, gained over 53,000 views and 2,000 reposts. Maliwal, a vocal critic of Kejriwal, recently protested outside his residence over governance failures. BJP leads in 46 out of 70 seats, threatening AAP’s hold in Delhi. Kejriwal trails behind BJP’s Parvesh Verma. The elections saw a 60.54% voter turnout.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 48 out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections, defeating Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which won only 22. PM Narendra Modi called it a mandate for development, stating, “Delhi is India’s gateway and should get the country’s best infrastructure.” Parvesh Sahib Singh, who defeated Kejriwal, is among BJP’s top contenders for chief ministership. Congress failed to win any seats for the third straight election. A voter turnout of 60.54% was recorded. BJP returns to power in Delhi after 27 years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called BJP’s Delhi election victory a win for "development, vision, and trust." He criticised AAP, saying, "The people of Delhi will not tolerate corruption and lies… they want governance, not theatrics." Modi promised to clean Delhi, tackle pollution, and improve the Yamuna River. He also targeted Congress, calling it a "parasite party" that brings others down. "It is my guarantee to the people of Delhi—Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas," he said. With BJP now in power, Modi assured that the city will see real change and better governance.

The BJP has won the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, securing 48 out of 70 seats. Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a major loss, winning only 22 seats. Kejriwal and former deputy CM Manish Sisodia lost their seats. Parvesh Sahib Singh, who defeated Kejriwal, is a top contender for the chief minister’s post. The Congress failed to win any seats. The BJP focused on issues like Yamuna pollution and Kejriwal’s liquor policy case. PM Narendra Modi has reached the BJP headquarters and will soon address party workers to celebrate the victory.

Arvind Kejriwal accepted AAP’s defeat in the Delhi election and congratulated BJP. "The people's decision is paramount. We accept the verdict," he said. Kejriwal lost his New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma. He promised AAP would play a constructive opposition role. "We did not enter politics for power but to serve people," he added. AAP’s Manish Sisodia and Saurabh Bhardwaj also lost. Only Atishi won among top leaders. BJP, returning to power after 27 years, credited PM Modi’s leadership for the victory. "We will leave no stone unturned in developing Delhi," Modi said.

BJP leader Parvesh Verma defeated Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi assembly seat. "I have just done my job," Verma said, adding that BJP will now fulfill promises Kejriwal failed to keep. He said there was strong anti-incumbency against Kejriwal, who did no work in 11 years. Verma is seen as a frontrunner for the chief minister’s post but said, "The MLAs and party leadership will decide." He promised development, jobs, and a clean Yamuna river. BJP has returned to power in Delhi after 27 years, with Verma playing a key role in the victory.

BJP leader Smriti Irani said Arvind Kejriwal’s defeat shows that people have rejected him. "They have left him free enough to go to jail now and pay for his crimes," she said at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. She called Kejriwal "one of the most corrupt politicians in India." Kejriwal lost to BJP’s Parvesh Verma in New Delhi. Other AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Saurabh Bhardwaj, also lost. The BJP is leading in over 45 seats, while AAP is trailing. Irani credited PM Modi for BJP’s win and said, "BJP will win in Bihar next."
