New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has become active again in Delhi where they have not held power since 1998. They won three seats in the 2015 Assembly elections and increased their tally to eight in the 2020 elections, and now appear poised to capture the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) bastion in the 2025 elections, as per the current counting trends of the Indian Election Commission (ECI).
What is the status of the eight assembly segments where BJP emerged victorious in 2020?
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) garnered 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 elections, easily winning and maintaining control over Delhi. But BJP was able to take eight constituencies which include the following: Rohini, Gandhi Nagar, Ghonda, Karawal Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Mustafabad, Rohtas Nagar, and Vishwas Nagar. Congress did not win any seats.
Nevertheless, since that time, and especially following the resignation and subsequent disqualification of several AAP MLAs, the political scenario of Delhi has changed massively. BJP has also seen a decrease in its strength to seven after the departure of BJP MLA Ramvir Singh Bidhuri whose election to the Parliament in 2024 resulted in him resigning.
The 2023 ECI elections seems like a walk in the park for the BJP candidates winning the elections of 2020. Currently, all seats are predicted to go the BJP way - a total of 8.
In the Rohini Constituency, Pardeep Mittal from AAP suffered a defeat against Vijender Gupta of the BJP who won with a difference of 20520 votes.
In the Rohtas Nagar lhsot, Jitender Mahajan of teh BJP is winning agains Sarita Singh of the AAP by 12983 votes.
For the Vishwas Nagar Seat, Deepak Singhal from AAP is being outperformed by Om Prakash Sharma from the BJP who is leading by 24949 votes.
In Mustafabad, Mohan Singh Bisht of BJP is leading against AAP`s Adeel Ahmad Khan by 42998 votes.
Gandhi Nagar is the same, Arvinder Singh Lovely of the BJP is the winner while AAP's candidate, Naveen Chaudhary Deepu, lost with a mark of 4246
In Ghonda Constituency, candidate manadir Aajay Mahawar of the BJP is leading against Gaurav Sharma of AAP with 20305 votes.
In Karawal Nagar, Kapil Mishra of the BJP is winning against Manoj Tyagi of AAP with a difference of 34035 votes.
And lastly for the Nihang Nagar constituency, Abhay Verma of the BJP is leading with a little difference of 3800 votes against B.B Tyagi of AAP.
As a point of note, under the President Narendra Modi of India's leadership along with the party chief JP Nadda, the BJP Delhi incharge Baijayant Panda raised their campaign's focus towards lower, middle and upper-middle class voters.
