Sat Feb 08 06:47:35 UTC 2025: ## BJP Projected to Win Delhi Assembly Election in Major Upset

**New Delhi, [Date]** – Early trends in the Delhi Assembly election counting indicate a stunning victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), defying predictions and marking a significant setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). While votes are still being tallied, the BJP has already surpassed the majority mark, suggesting a complete reversal of power in the national capital.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with key AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Atishi, are trailing in their respective constituencies. Mr. Kejriwal, contesting from New Delhi, is currently behind BJP’s Parvesh Verma by over 1,000 votes. Atishi is facing a nearly 3,000-vote deficit against Ramesh Bidhuri in Kalkaji, while Mr. Sisodia is also trailing in Jangpura. Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj is also falling behind in Greater Kailash.

While some AAP candidates, including Gopal Rai in Babarpur, Durgesh Pathak in Rajinder Nagar, and Amanatullah Khan in Okhla, are currently leading, the overall picture paints a bleak outlook for the AAP, which had confidently predicted a third consecutive term. Other prominent AAP figures like Satyendar Jain (Shakur Basti) and Avadh Ojha (Patparganj) are also trailing. The party’s pre-election prediction of winning 40-45 seats appears wildly inaccurate based on current projections.

The BJP’s success comes after an aggressive campaign that focused heavily on corruption allegations against the AAP. The AAP, in contrast, championed its “Delhi model” of governance. The election, held on February 5th, saw a high voter turnout. The final results will be confirmed as the counting progresses.
