Sat Feb 08 11:29:30 UTC 2025: ## BJP Set to Rule Delhi After 27-Year Drought

**New Delhi, India** – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to form the government in Delhi after a 27-year absence, securing a decisive victory in the 2025 Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections. With 37 seats won and a commanding lead in 11 more, the BJP has surpassed the majority mark of 36 seats.

While celebrations erupted within the BJP, reactions from other parties were varied. Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav alleged that the BJP used all its power to win and implied the Congress aided their victory by undermining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). AAP’s Imran Hussain, winning candidate from Ballimaran, conceded defeat, stating they accepted the people’s mandate.

The BJP’s win marks a significant political shift in the national capital, ending the AAP’s long reign. The margin of victory in some constituencies, such as Satish Upadhyay’s win in Malviya Nagar by 2,131 votes, highlights the BJP’s strong showing.
