In a historical political change, the Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party is ready to form the government in Delhi after 27 years, ensuring a two -third dominant majority in the elections of Assembly 2025. AADMI Party (AAP), led by Arvind Kejriwal.
The last BJP government in Delhi served from 1993 to 1998, marking this victory as a significant return for the party.

Of the 70 electoral districts of the Assembly, the BJP assured 48 seats, while AAP managed to ensure only 22. This overwhelming victory saw several prominent leaders of AAP, including Kejriwal, former vice minister in chief in chief Manish sisodyformer minister Satyendra Jainand Saurabh Bharadwaj, losing its constituencies.
In a close contest, Kejriwal lost the seat of the New Delhi Assembly to BJP’s Parvesh Verma for a margin of 4,089 votes. Meanwhile, the Congress score remained zero since the party could not secure any seat.
Here are the winners and losers in the Delhi 2025 Assembly elections
Narendra Modi
Once again, it was the BJP pet, the chief activist and the man who had to compensate for the lack of a formidable figure of the local party unit. That led BJP to a great victory shows that it is still a great vote and a great motivator for the match of the game. He skillfully addressed low -income groups and middle classes. His high decibel campaign speeches against AAP’s “corruption” framed BJP’s accusation against AAP’s chief. The victory of Delhi, at the top of Haryana and Maharashtra of BJP, has restored the Modi brand, which had received some blows after the Lok Sabha elections.
Amit Shah
So, that is one more job on his list of ‘pending tasks’. Delhi had eluded Modi’s BJP since 2014 and Shah had strategted hard in 2015 and 2020. He did it again this time, framing a broad strategy and fixing nuts and bolts. Making the party box believe that Kejriwal was defeated was not easy. But, helped by the aggressive dubbing of Modi of the AAM AADMI party as “AAP-DA” (disaster), managed to change the mood. His decision to find Pravesh Verma against Kejriwal was a typical master blow of the number 2 of BJP.
Arvind Kejriwal
Humble, accessible, with honesty, a new type of politician who promises a new type of policy. That was his image in 2013, when he broke into the political scene. Now? Hubrist, another leader who supposedly uses the government for political financing, a politician who lost contact with those who made it a success, apparently indifferent that the city that ruled became a word without words for urban poor management. Kejriwal’s rise to power and prominence was as spectacular as his fall of grace. That he, humiliatingly, could not even retain the seat he has won three times since 2013 worsens him even more.
Manish sisody
His star got up with Kejriwal. But he had an early intimidation of problems in the last surveys of the Assembly. He had just scraped in Patparganj in 2020 and this time he moved to Jangpura. That made him seem to flee. The defeat in Jangpura has given him a severe political blow. As it is for Kejriwal, his successes, supposedly the brain behind the AAP transformation of government schools in Delhi, are now a distant memory. He is not a mass politician on his own, what happens in his political career depends completely on whether Kejriwal can recover from this defeat.
Atishi
Daughter of academics and expelled the darkness of Kejriwal, became an AAP media star, followed by her appointment as an advisor of the then cm sisodia. She was the safe choice for Kejriwal when she had to give up CMSHIT after being sent to jail. No one took her seriously at that job, including many in AAP. She was cm for 135 days and could not do anything to change the perception of the non -governmental by AAP. His victory, after a great scare during the count, is little comfort for his party.
Rahul and Priyanka
For the Gandhis, nothing has worked since Congress delivered an impressive show in the Lok Sabha elections. Delhi is the third electoral loss from LS, and 2025 is the third time that Congress scored a duck in the city. Brother and sister campaigned in the capital, but made little difference with the general results. But, curiously, everything is not bad for the Gandhis. That the Congress may have cost AAP’s votes and that AAP was defeated roundly is, first, revenge for Congress and, secondly, a damping against criticism from other regional satraps. If AAP had won, TMC, SP would have fallen hard with Gandhis and his group.
