Delhi Election / Will AAP score a hat-trick- Will BJP's drought end or will Congress make a comeback?

Delhi Election: The dates for the assembly elections in Delhi have been announced. Voting for all 70 seats will be held on February 5 and the results will be declared on February 8. This time the election is special in many ways. The major parties on the political scene—Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—have entered the fray with their own strategies.

A decisive test for BJP: Will the 27-year drought end?

In 1993, the BJP captured power in Delhi under the leadership of Madanlal Khurana. But in the next 27 years, the party failed to form a government in Delhi. This time the BJP has put in all its strength and the activism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah is making it more interesting. Ending the drought of BJP in the assembly since 1998 has become a question of prestige for the party.

Congress: Hopes of a comeback

From 1998 to 2013, the Congress had a golden era in Delhi under the leadership of Sheila Dikshit. But in the 2013 elections, Congress suffered a major setback and the party won only seven seats. After this, the performance of Congress in the 2015 and 2020 elections was disappointing. This time Congress has devised a strategy to return by giving preference to new faces and young candidates.

Aam Aadmi Party: Eye on a hat-trick

Aam Aadmi Party, which made a bang entry in politics in 2013, formed the government in 2015 with a historic victory of 67 seats. AAP maintained its hold in the 2020 elections as well. This time AAP is hoping for its third victory under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal. Although the party has faced many allegations and controversies, Kejriwal's popularity and the party's ground work style give it an edge.

What will be the future of Delhi?

This election is not only a question of changing power, but it will decide the direction of Delhi's future.

For the BJP, this election is an opportunity to prove its strength and organizational capacity in national politics.

Congress will try to regain its lost ground.

At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party has to show that it is still the first choice of the people.

People's decision

The election atmosphere in Delhi has heated up. Whom the people choose as their representative and who will take charge of Delhi's development will be decided on 8 February. This election is not just a struggle for power, but can prove to be an important step in changing the political picture of Delhi.
