What Led to AAP’s Decline?
1. Anti-Incumbency & Governance Issues
- AAP has ruled Delhi for 10 years, but recent controversies and governance challenges have impacted its popularity.
- Allegations of corruption, water crisis, and poor infrastructure may have turned voters away.
2. BJP’s Strong Campaign
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity remains strong in Delhi, influencing voter sentiment.
- BJP aggressively campaigned on issues like pollution control, infrastructure, and law & order.
3. Congress’ Irrelevance in Delhi
- Once a dominant force (1998-2013) under Sheila Dikshit, Congress has failed to revive itself.
- 2015 & 2020: Congress won 0 seats. In 2025, exit polls suggest a similar fate.
Throwback: AAP’s Performance in 2015 & 2020
Delhi Assembly Elections 2015
- AAP’s historic win: 67 out of 70 seats
- BJP: 3 seats
- Congress: 0 seats
This was AAP’s biggest-ever victory, establishing Arvind Kejriwal as the dominant leader in Delhi politics.
Delhi Assembly Elections 2020
- AAP: 62 seats
- BJP: 8 seats
- Congress: 0 seats
While BJP improved from 3 to 8 seats, AAP retained a strong majority.
However, 2025 exit polls suggest a massive shift, with BJP emerging as the frontrunner.
Will BJP Return to Power in Delhi?
If exit polls are accurate, BJP is set to form the next government in Delhi, ending AAP’s 10-year rule. However, the final results on February 8 will confirm whether these predictions hold true.
Possible Scenarios Based on Exit Polls:
- BJP Majority (51+ seats) – A clear BJP government in Delhi after 27 years.
- Hung Assembly (35-40 BJP seats, 32-37 AAP seats) – AAP and BJP may need alliances to form the government.
- AAP’s Unexpected Comeback (unlikely as per polls) – If results defy exit polls, Kejriwal could retain power.
With BJP projected to gain significantly, all eyes are on the vote counting day, February 8, 2025.
The 2025 exit polls suggest a major shift in Delhi’s political landscape, with BJP poised to make a strong comeback and AAP facing a decline.
- BJP’s projected victory (39-60 seats) could end AAP’s dominance.
- AAP is predicted to lose significant ground, with only 10-37 seats expected.
- Congress remains largely irrelevant, with 0-3 seats.
If these predictions materialize, Delhi will witness a political transformation, with BJP back in power after nearly three decades.
