‘BJP has a system pointed’: Kejriwal’s aap loses Delhi in the Montar election | News of the election
New Delhi, India – Arvind Kejriwal and his party AAM AADMI (AAP) have been astonishing the elections for the Assembly in Delhi in a major turnaround for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janana (BJP) Party, which is now ready to re -manage the capital after 27 years.
Twelve years from their sensational driving to power in the 1993 elections in the back of the popular anti -corruption movement, there were clearly Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, his deputy, lost their constituencies before counting the votes ended on Saturday.
On Saturday afternoon, AAP temporarily locked its headquarters in Lutyen’s Delhi, while celebrations broke out in the nearby BJP offices, decorated with the color of the Saffron party, and fun workers dance and distribute sweets. “Development victory, good management triumph,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X.
Jana Shakti is the most important thing!
Development victory, good triumphs for management.
I worship my dear sisters and brothers from Delhi for this echo and historical mandate @Bjp4india. We are humiliated and honored to have received these blessings.
Our guarantee is that we will not leave …
– Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) 8. February 2025
In a 70 -seat assembly in Delhi, BJP crossed most of 35 seats by Saturday afternoon, winning more than 48 places by the afternoon. Aap crossed with 63 places in which he won Election 2020. in 22 places that the countdown was still continued in the afternoon.
“What once started as a folk movement has now been inserted into a mere political party,” said Nelanjan Sircar, an older associate at the Delhi Policy Research Center (CPR), referring to AAP. “Kejriwal may be just a politician and when Shine is worn out, the main voter is weakened.”
Delhi, where more than 33 million people live, and the national capital, New Delhi, is the center of political power in India – and the one that has remained beyond the adhesion of BJP so far despite his meteor political rise, Prime Minister Narendra Modi since 2014 .
“Delhi is a mini India, it has a considerable population from different regions of the country – and BJP has shown that if they can win Delhi, they can win anything,” said Rasheed Kidwai, a political analyst for Al Jazeera. “This turnaround is significant because this victory is the story of the management of BJP microcouums.
BJP ride to the capital
Modi’s BJP suffered a humble moment in June last year, when Hindu’s nationalist party lost her parliamentary majority In the national elections, there are remains to manage the support of regional allies.
Seven months later, the BJP conquered three main state elections – Maharashtra, Haryana and Delhi – where it was expected to face again, analysts Al Jazeera said, further consolidating their expansion of control over Indian politics.
“Of [national] Elections, our party addressed our wide workers, who worked hard to ensure that the message of prosperity reaches every voter, “he told Al Jazeera, Zafar Islam, a national spokesman for BJP.” bad management. “
Although AAP became known for its well -being programs, the BJP doubled in similar promises in its campaign, which also took over the Hindu nationalist undertone in Delhi. “The elections in India have become very transaction and the voter wants to know what to get for his voice,” Kidwai said.
Delhi’s electorate is also among the simplest, given the differences in castes and classes, Sircar said. “If you are unable to get at least some pieces and pieces of all the population, it’s hard to win the elections,” he said. The section of the so -called “Upper Caste” voters, which make up almost 40 percent of Delhi population, added, passed on to the BJP, attracted to promises of subsidies and development, as well as the desire for changes after more than a decade of AAP rules.
Under the elections, in which almost 9.5 million people voted on Wednesday, the BJP did not confirm its election for the Delhi Chief Minister, who said Kidwai, worked in favor of the party. “There was no disappointment [about any one candidate] Among the various castes or voters from other regions and tensions, they were even held for them and overturned them in their favor. “
The Congress Party, the oldest Indian party, which runs the National opposition, the Indian Union, has remained on the outskirts in the Assembly for some time and, this time, failed to win a single place in the Assembly election in Delhi.
Clearly surprised by the results, Nivedit Menon, a professor of politics at Delhi’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University, said: “She feels like BJP will never lose the election again. They are a system firmly sewn.”
‘Message for KEJRIWAL’
Before national elections last year, KEJRIWAL The Indian Financial Crime Agency was arrested for charges of corruption. His deputy, SisodiaHe spent 17 months in Tihar prison, Delhi, on a charge for money laundering. His trial continues. And their two terms, secured by the victories from the landslide, was disturbed by a continuous shower with a central governor who appointed to fight with greater control over Delhi.
This time it was the turn of Kejriwal for the humiliating moment when on Saturday morning his party lost the assembly to Delhi to BJP. AAP published the election as a referendum on its management, and the innocence of its leaders in cases of which BJP is political revenge.
“Now there was the imagination that Kejriwal and AAP also do politics as usual, they are not cleaner than other parties,” Siricar said, adding that middle class voters “disappointed Kejriwal’s tactics and constant conflict with the Central Government” .
The BJP has won all seven places in Delhi in the last three parliamentary elections, but so far has not been able to beat voters in the Assembly elections, which have been held every five years.
“There were strong anti-infinity [against the AAP] After a decade and that hurt his picture among the middle -class voters, which resulted in swing, “Sircar added.” And the BJP had an advantage in the battle for perception [against] KEJRIWAL – that he just blinked, or is ‘fraud’, not acting in management. “
Kejriwal lost its place to assemble, a constituency in New Delhi, from BJP Parvesh Verma – who invited to a “Social Bojcot” of Muslims – More than 3,100 votes in the New Delhi election unit. Sisodia, his deputy, also lost the Jangpura constituency in the southeast Delhi of BJP. As counting continued in the evening on Saturday, several other popular party leaders were lagging behind, but it was not yet forced to admit.
“It is a clear message that things were not good for Kejriwal, because every political party that has all the difficult weights means that there is no way to come to power,” Kidwai said, analyst.
Nervous territory
On Saturday afternoon, silence fell over AAP headquarters. Experts say the party must now focus on taking over the pieces. “It will put them in a difficult place because they have been in power in Delhi since its inception. The party has not faced time outside the authorities in Delhi,” said Rahul Verma, a political commentator.
“Their national leaders are a loss of shame and will suffocate the expansionist impulse, which Aap had a few years ago,” Verma said, referring to other Indian state elections where AAP competed, such as Gujrat, and Jammu and Kashmir. Currently, the Kejriwl Party also manages the neighboring State Punjab.
Because Kejriwal is from the upcoming assembly, the tables have turned into a policy into Delhi, experts said. This is an ignorant territory.
For more than 10 years, the BJP has held complete control of parliament in the country, located in New Delhi, but has always remained a distance from state forces. “The BJP now has the same type of centralization as fashion, a so -called dual engine campaign,” Sircar said.
But the saffron party must be careful, he warned, because Delhi has changed since BJP last won the 1993 assembly elections. Sircar said, “Bjp did not manage Delhi who looks like this or feels like this – a modern cosmopolitan imagination.”
