New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won (including leading ) 47 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead in 23 seats, according to data from the Election Commission of India (EC) on Saturday.
Crossing the halfway mark, the BJP is set to regain power in Delhi after a gap of nearly 26 years. Arvind Kejriwal, who is facing corruption charges was sent to jail but is out on bail in the liquor scam, and his AAP were removed by the voters for their failure to deliver, misleading the people and involvement in various scams and corrupt practices.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the voter for reposing their trust in the BJP and also congratulated the party workers for their hard work in reaching out to the people. “Development wins, good governance triumphs,” Modi said on X, adding that his party would leave “no stone unturned” in developing Delhi.
The BJP recently won Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh elections and this third win is a big boost to the saffron party post the General Elections last year.
The Congress party also ran the poll race but failed to bag even a single seat.
