New Delhi:

The Aam Aadmi Party repeated its 2015 feat in Delhi as it reduced its closest rival - BJP- to single-digit seats in the 70-member assembly. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party is set to win 63 seats as counting of votes neared its end while the BJP -- which led a high-voltage campaign on anti-CAA protests and nationalism -- settled around seven seats after initial gains.

While Mr Kejriwal was comfortably placed in his New Delhi seat, party's number two leader, Manish Sisodia, had a tense day in a see-saw battle in his constituency. "Happy that people voted to make Arvind Kejriwal the chief minister for the third time with a massive victory," said Manish Sisodia. The Congress has failed to open an account yet again with all its heavyweights, including Alka Lamba and Arvinder Singh Lovely trailing.

Both AAP heavyweights Manish Sisodia and Atishi Marlena have won their respective seats after initial scare. The biggest AAP heavyweight trailing at the moment is Speaker Ram Niwas Goel.

During campaigning, the ruling AAP had sought to retain power on the work done in the field of education, health, and in providing cheap electricity and water, while the main opposition BJP conducted a massive campaign, roping in most of its 70 union ministers, 270 MPs and leaders and Chief Ministers from various states, to deliver it's campaign message on anti-CAA protests and nationalism.

Delhi election 2020 was held on Saturday, with 62.59 per cent of the city's voters coming out to exercise their democratic right. The voter turnout in the previous assembly election in 2015 stood at 67.5 per cent.

"Befitting Reply": AAP's Raghav Chadha Hits Out At BJP Over Delhi Election Result 2020
Speaking to NDTV, AAP's Raghav Chadha today said the people of Delhi have given a "befitting reply" to the BJP. Here are the highlights of his remarks to BJP on Delhi election result. 

  • It was an election that we wanted to fight on issues that matter to the day to day lives of the people.
  • A lot of attempts were made by our political adversaries to digress. Yet we stuck to our ground.
  • People rejected the vulgarity that the BJP pursued.
  • We did not get distracted, swayed away.
  • I have never seen any election which is so hate-filled to the point where the CM with the biggest mandate in India's history is called a terrorist.
  • The people of Delhi have given them a befitting reply and they have understood he is the Shravan Kumar, the elder son.
  • We have got a mandate to serve to Delhi. All our energies will be focused on serving Delhi.

We were zero earlier, are zero now, so it's a BJP defeat not ours: Congress leader


The BJP and not the Congress was defeated in Delhi as the Congress tally remained at zero like in 2015, Congress leader and Punjab cabinet minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

"We were zero earlier, and this time too we are zero. So it's not our defeat. It's a defeat for the BJP," he said, referring to the election trends which gave the Congress no seat in the Delhi assembly election.

The Congress had not won even a single seat in the 2015 Assembly polls too.

What Arvind Kejriwal's family said on party victory


Sunita Kejriwal, wife

Last time too there were similar results. In the beginning Congress was getting a few seats but then we took the lead.
He has worked hard for 5 years that's why people have voted for him. He has earned it.
Politics should be on issues, all parties should learn this by now.

Harshita Kejriwal, Daughter

There was a positivity among people regarding the work that AAP did.
People were rejecting the negativity of other parties.
They kept telling us, you don't need to campaign, we are with you.
We are very happy. All friends called me and congratulated.
Opposition has got their answer. Politics of religion won't work. Abuses won't work.
Schools, hospitals and work will get votes.

Election Results: "Arvind Kejriwal's Free Power Offer Before Polls Impacted The Poor": BJP MP


Arvind Kejriwal's announcement last year to not bill Delhi residents if they use no more than 200 units of electricity a month appears to have had an impact on the poor, BJP MP from Delhi, Ramesh Bidhuri, said as votes were counted for the Delhi election.

AAP was leading, racing ahead of the BJP in the first hour of counting.

"Arvind Kejriwal's decision two month before the election to give free electricity up to 200 units has had an impact on the poor. If BJP workers succeed in ensuring that the central government's schemes reach the ground, then the BJP's performance will be good," Mr Bhidhuri told NDTV.

"If they don't ensure the schemes reaching the ground, then the Kejriwal government that gives 200 units of free electricity will benefit," he added.

In August last year, Chief Minister Kejriwal had announced that people of Delhi will not be billed if they use no more than 200 units of electricity a month. It costs the government Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,000 crore annually on power subsidy, the Chief Minister had said.

Delhi Election Result: "Our Win Will Prove What Real Patriotism Is", Says AAP's Manish Sisodia

As Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) raced ahead of the BJP in the counting of votes for the Delhi election, his deputy Manish Sisodia said his party's victory would mean that "real nationalism is to work for the people".

AAP was leading in over 50 seats and the BJP in around 17 seats in the first hour of counting.

"Our victory will prove that real patriotism is that if you get the opportunity in politics, you must work for the people. Work on education, hospitals," Mr Sisodia said.

"Delhi will prove that if a government works sincerely, then it can win. We kept talking about schools and hospitals but the other side tried to vitiate the atmosphere and talk only Hindu-Muslim," the Deputy Chief Minister said, taking a swipe at the BJP.


AAP has accused the BJP of trying to polarize Delhi's voters by crafting the narrative of "anti-national" around protests against the citizenship law, especially at Shaheen Bagh.

Several BJP leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah, dedicated their campaign to attacks on those opposing the citizenship law, dubbing them as "traitors". AAP claimed that it would win entirely on its development work in the past five years.

Congress's Arvinder Singh Lovely trailing in Gandhi Nagar


Arvinder Singh Lovely is a Congress leader who had walked out of his party in 2017 to join the BJP. He returned to the Congress in February 2018. Mr Lovely has been associated with the Congress for over three decades. He contested in four elections to the Delhi assembly and won each one of them, and was a minister in Sheila Dikshit's government. Mr Lovely, who has been the Delhi Education Minister in the past, lost the fight for the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat in 2019 to the BJP's Gautam Gambhir. He served as the Delhi Congress chief until he was replaced by Ajay Maken when the party was decimated in the 2015 state polls after three terms in power. In the Delhi assembly polls, he fought from the Gandhi Nagar seat against the AAP's Naveen Choudhary.

We miss Sheila Dikshit, could not pitch anyone else effectively: Abhishek Singhvi


  • AAP should win. BJP seems to be doing better but it will stabilise at a lower figure.
  • As far as Congress is concerned, we sorely miss (former Delhi chief minister and Congress leader) Sheila Dikshit's persona. We lost a tall leader and we could not pitch anyone else effectively.
  • I am happy to the extent that BJP is not winning it. AAP's victory is less disappointing to me. AAP has done some good work in education.
  • The high-pitched campaign by the BJP has worked much less.

Election Results: BJP ahead in Okhla


BJP candidate Brahm Singh is ahead by 214 votes in Okhla. Shaheen Bagh is part of the Okhla constituency in Delhi, which has a sizeable Muslim population.

The campaign for the Delhi election was deeply polarising; the BJP sought to portray those protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Shaheen Bagh as "traitors" and "anti-national".

The party, which has been out of power in Delhi for 20 years, went all out in their narrative against Shaheen Bagh, with Home Minister Amit Shah urging voters to "push the button" of the Electronic Voting Machine so hard that the "current was felt in Shaheen Bagh".
