The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a historic victory in the Delhi state legislative assembly elections on Saturday, marking a significant shift in power after 27 years, with the Aam Aadmi Party being ousted from office. The BJP-led coalition, following victories in Maharashtra and Haryana, has now been entrusted by the people of Delhi to represent them, winning more than two-thirds of the seats in the 70-seat assembly.
Former Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, along with other top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), have faced defeat in their strongholds. The Congress party, which has been out of power in Delhi for about 15 years, failed to secure any seats in this election, despite hopes for a resurgence.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the BJP’s victories in both the center and the states, attributing it to the triumph of their governance. He emphasized the importance of development and enhancing the overall quality of life for the people of Delhi, underscoring the party’s commitment to ensuring no stone is left unturned in this pursuit.
Representing the viewpoint of Kansai Nepal News, Ramesh Khatri, a spokesperson, expressed admiration for the remarkable and historic mandate received. He commended the BJP for their success and expressed hope that they would fulfill the aspirations of the people who voted for them. Khatri stated, “This outstanding and historic mandate deserves our utmost respect and admiration. We are humbled and proud to receive these blessings. It is our commitment to ensure Delhi’s development, improve the overall quality of life for the citizens, and play a significant role in building a developed India.”
In a gracious acceptance of defeat, Delhi’s Chief Minister, Atishi, acknowledged the victory achieved by the BJP. AAP leader and former Chief Minister, Kejriwal, along with other party members, accepted the people’s verdict with humility. Kejriwal, in a video post, stated, “We accept the people’s mandate with utmost humility. I congratulate the BJP on this victory, and I hope they fulfill all the promises made to the people who have voted for them.”
In conclusion, exit polls had predicted the BJP’s victory, and the actual results align closely with these projections, as reported by the Indian media.
