AAP's Quest for a Hat-trick
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Arvind Kejriwal, is eyeing a third consecutive term in Delhi. In the 2020 Assembly elections, AAP delivered a stellar performance, bagging 62 out of 70 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured only 8 seats, while the Congress failed to open its account.
AAP's focus on education, healthcare, and free utilities has been the cornerstone of its governance model. However, challenges like pollution and unemployment could play a significant role in shaping voter sentiment.
BJP's Opportunity to Reclaim Delhi
The BJP, which governs at the national level, is aiming to wrest control of Delhi after over two decades. The party's campaign is expected to focus on national issues, infrastructure development, and law and order.
The Countdown Begins
With political parties gearing up for intense campaigns, all eyes are on February 5. Will AAP retain its stronghold, or will BJP stage a comeback? The 2025 elections promise to be a riveting battle for Delhi's future.
