BJP Forms Government in Delhi After 27 Years
The BJP is set to form the government in Delhi after a gap of 27 years, securing an overwhelming two-thirds majority in the Delhi Assembly Elections. This victory marks the end of the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) decade-long rule in the national capital.
The last BJP government in Delhi was from 1993 to 1998.
In the 70-seat Delhi Assembly, BJP won 48 seats, while AAP managed to secure only 22 seats.
Several prominent AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, former minister Satyendra Jain, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, suffered major defeats in the election.
