Thu Feb 06 09:31:33 UTC 2025: ## BJP Claims Victory in Delhi Assembly Elections as Voting Concludes
**New Delhi:** Voting concluded in the Delhi Assembly elections on [Date of Voting], with all major political parties vying for the support of the electorate. The counting of votes will take place on February 8th, revealing the outcome.
Union Minister of State SP Singh Baghel expressed confidence in a BJP victory, claiming that Delhi’s voters have decided for a unified government at the state and central levels to foster development and end the cycle of accusations between the AAP and BJP. Baghel criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, alleging that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal constantly blamed the Lieutenant Governor and the central government.
Baghel highlighted the BJP’s promises, including the continuation of existing welfare schemes with improvements to curb corruption, surpassing AAP’s existing initiatives. He specifically mentioned the BJP’s pledge to implement the Ayushman Bharat scheme immediately upon assuming power, contrasting it with the alleged lack of implementation under the AAP government. He attributed the BJP’s predicted success to the “double engine” effect – having the same party in power at both the state and central levels.
Baghel also addressed concerns raised by Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav regarding the fairness of the election process, stating that the Election Commission is an impartial and constitutional body. He dismissed allegations of voter fraud raised by Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi, arguing that these parties have used the same EVMs to form governments in other states. Finally, he defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the Kumbh Mela, emphasizing its significance for India’s spiritual heritage and national unity.
