The Middle Class Shaped Delhi's Destiny

In February 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new BJP headquarters in Delhi, where he frequently celebrated electoral victories. Following the BJP's significant win in Delhi, where it increased its seats from eight to 48, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's recent budget announcement transformed middle-class voter sentiment, shifting expectations from pessimism to optimism. Surveys indicated a dramatic change in perceptions, with over 40% of respondents anticipating an improved quality of life post-budget. Despite the BJP's success, AAP secured nearly 44% of the vote share, suggesting continued support among poorer voters. The election highlighted a class divide; while the affluent and middle class largely backed the BJP, the disadvantaged remained loyal to AAP. Though the BJP's victory was substantial, AAP's resilience indicates it still holds significant support among Delhi's electorate, marking a complex political landscape ahead. sources

Why Form Alliances?" Sena Criticizes Congress and AAP

In the wake of the recent Delhi Assembly election, the Congress party's role in the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) defeat has sparked criticism within the opposition bloc INDIA. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy characterized the alliance as "fractured," a sentiment echoed by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who suggested that infighting among opposition parties facilitated the BJP's victory. Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena accused both Congress and AAP of undermining each other, which ultimately benefited the BJP. Despite Congress's failure to secure any seats for the third consecutive election, party leaders expressed satisfaction over AAP's loss, raising concerns within the opposition about potential vote-splitting in future elections, particularly in Bengal. Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress remains wary of Congress's impact in the upcoming state elections, although she reassured her MLAs about their party's strength against the BJP. sources

Could Delhi's Next Chief Minister Be a Woman?

NEW DELHI: Following a decisive victory in the Delhi elections, the BJP has ended the AAP's decade-long rule, securing 48 out of 70 Assembly seats. As speculation mounts over the next Chief Minister, potential candidates include Parvesh Verma, who notably defeated AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, and other party figures such as Satish Upadhyay, Vijender Gupta, Ashish Sood, and Pawan Sharma. Interestingly, the BJP may also consider a woman MLA for the role, with four newly elected female legislators in their ranks. Additionally, caste considerations may influence the decision, as four MLAs belong to the Scheduled Caste category. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and party chief JP Nadda are strategizing the government formation, with a grand swearing-in ceremony planned for after Modi's return from the US, aiming to highlight the BJP's significant comeback in the capital. sources

AAP Ended After Delhi Defeat: Ex-Leader Ashutosh

NEW DELHI: Following a significant electoral defeat in Delhi, former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Ashutosh declared that the party has been "finished" for some time, with the recent results merely confirming this decline. He criticized AAP's leadership, particularly Arvind Kejriwal, for abandoning its revolutionary principles, citing instances of luxury living and alleged corruption, including the controversial renovation of the Chief Minister's residence. Ashutosh, a veteran journalist and key figure in the India Against Corruption movement, emphasized that AAP's loss of moral integrity contributed to its downfall, warning that the party may also struggle to retain power in Punjab. AAP's crushing defeat saw it secure only 22 seats compared to the BJP's 48, with prominent leaders like Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia losing their positions. Additionally, expelled co-founder Prashant Bhushan echoed these sentiments, criticizing Kejriwal for shifting AAP's focus from transparency to self-interest. sources
