Sat Feb 08 08:10:00 UTC 2025: ## BJP Candidate Who Received PM Modi’s Respectful Gesture Wins Delhi Assembly Seat
**New Delhi:** Ravinder Singh Negi, the BJP candidate for the Patparganj constituency in the Delhi Assembly elections, has secured a significant victory, defeating Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Avadh Ojha. Negi garnered 74,060 votes, securing a margin of 28,072 votes over his closest rival. Ojha received 45,988 votes, while the Congress candidate finished a distant third.
Negi’s win follows a widely circulated video showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi seemingly touching Negi’s feet three times during a campaign rally in Kartaar Nagar. The gesture, unusual in Indian politics, sparked considerable online discussion. While the exact context remains unclear, the video clearly depicts a respectful interaction between the Prime Minister and the BJP candidate before the elections.
