New Delhi, 10:06 AM: The latest trends in the Delhi Assembly elections indicate a clear lead for the BJP, with 44 seats projected in their favor, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is trailing with 26 seats. The Congress is struggling to gain momentum and is barely visible in the electoral race.
The BJP's apparent victory marks a significant political shift in the capital. The AAP, which previously ruled Delhi with a strong majority, seems to be facing a backlash, allegedly due to corruption scandals and dissatisfaction among voters.
AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has directly criticized the Election Commission, raising questions about the fairness of the election process. He highlighted discrepancies in voter registrations, particularly in the New Delhi constituency, where he is contesting. According to Kejriwal, over 10,000 new voter applications were filed between mid-December and January, while thousands of existing voters were allegedly removed from the list.
The BJP, however, has dismissed these allegations, claiming they are baseless and a desperate attempt to shift focus from AAP's failures. They emphasized that no evidence of corruption has been found against the BJP despite investigations over the past two years.
This intense political conflict mirrors a broader trend among regional parties across India, where losing parties often question the integrity of the electoral process. Analysts suggest that AAP’s reluctance to accept defeat could erode its credibility further.
With final results yet to be declared, all eyes remain on the Election Commission's official announcement. However, the BJP’s lead strongly suggests a return to power in Delhi, marking a significant setback for the AAP.
