Karnail Singh, who won from Shakur Basti, was followed by Manjinder Singh Sirsa from Rajouri Garden with Rs 248 crore and Parvesh Sahib Singh from New Delhi with Rs 115 crore
A brief history of Delhi Assembly polls since 2008 illustrates why credit for AAP's loss should go to BJP's groundwork and outreach, and blame to AAP's failure to retain its base, rather than Congress
Delhi election result 2025: The BJP managed to retain its lead after most rounds of counting and was expected to win 48 in total, according to EC data
The BJP won 48 seats of the 70-strong Delhi assembly, ousting from power the Aam Aadmi Party headed by former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal
The Delhi BJP chief said Kejriwal had repeatedly claimed to be honest & had asserted that the people of Delhi would take revenge on the saffron party by voting against it in response to his jail term
The Congress also asserted that it would form a government in the national capital in 2030
In 2020 and 2015, AAP won a massive mandate by securing 67 and 62 seats respectively. However, this time it was restricted to only 22 seats

Delhi Assembly elections 2025: By 4:30 pm, the BJP won 39 seats, leading in 9; AAP won 17 seats, leading in 5

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal lost from the New Delhi seat, being unseated by BJP's Parvesh Sahib Singh by a margin of over 4 thousand votes. This marked the end of a 10-year-long stint of Kejriwal
Nadda also said in a veiled reference to AAP chief Arvind Kejrwal and other leaders of the party that they swore by honesty but were put in jail on corruption charges

The Congress on Saturday faced a third consecutive season of electoral drought in Delhi, failing to open its account in the 70-member Assembly and suffering crushing defeats in key constituencies

With over 60 per cent of Delhi's electorate belonging to the middle-class, the Budget announcement of an increased income tax rebate threshold to Rs 12 lakh may just have won BJP the election
AAP neither has the leadership nor workers in most of the states due for elections in the next couple of years. It also would need to prepare to protect its turf in Punjab
Initially seen as a contest between AAP and BJP, the electoral dynamics shifted with AIMIM entering the fray. AIMIM fielded Shifa Ur Rehman, who campaigned aggressively in Muslim-majority areas
