Sat Feb 08 12:44:37 UTC 2025: ## BJP Wins Patparganj Seat in Landslide Victory Over AAP
**New Delhi, [Date]** – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a resounding victory in the Patparganj constituency in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. BJP candidate Ravinder Singh Negi defeated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Avadh Ojha by a significant margin of 28,072 votes, securing 74,060 votes to Ojha’s 45,988. This marks a significant upset, breaking AAP’s previous hold on the seat.
Negi’s victory was evident throughout the counting process, with a steadily widening lead over Ojha from the first round. Ojha conceded defeat, attributing it to a failure to connect with the electorate, but expressed his intention to contest future elections in Patparganj. Despite his loss, Ojha stated he was “very happy” with his second-place finish.
The election saw a high-stakes contest between the BJP and AAP, with Congress also fielding a candidate. The result is being seen as a significant indicator of the broader political landscape in Delhi, particularly in East Delhi. Key voter groups, including the Singh and Muslim communities, are believed to have played a crucial role in determining the outcome.
The 2020 election in Patparganj was closely contested, with AAP’s Manish Sisodia winning by a narrow margin. Sisodia’s absence from the race this year, having moved to the Jangpura constituency, is speculated to have contributed to the BJP’s success. Negi’s profile was notably boosted by a widely publicized incident where Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched Negi’s feet to prevent him from touching the Prime Minister’s.
The BJP’s victory in Patparganj signals a potential shift in the political dynamics of the region, and the results will be closely analyzed for their implications on the overall Delhi Assembly election outcome.
