Election Result 2025: ‘Kejriwal treated Delhi like his fiefdom’, says JD(U) Leader Lalan Singh on AAP’s Defeat
Union minister and JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan on Saturday said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was being punished for 11 years of "misrule" in Delhi. He accused Arvind Kejriwal of ignoring basic governance and treating the national capital as his personal stronghold.
"The people of Delhi were fed up with AAP’s tall claims and constant clashes with the Centre. They lacked even basic necessities like clean drinking water," Lalan told reporters.
He also alleged that Kejriwal was unfair to migrants from Bihar, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis. "During the pandemic, AAP forced migrants to flee. But when they returned home, the Bihar government supported them without hesitation," he added.
Mocking Kejriwal’s past remarks about migrants seeking free medical treatment in Delhi, Lalan said, "He spoke as if Delhi was his fiefdom, not the national capital."
The BJP is set to form the government in Delhi after 27 years, with the latest Election Commission trends showing the party leading in 48 seats, while AAP trails with 22.

Election Results 2025 live: ‘Even Ravan’s arrogance did not last’, says Swati Maliwal targets Kejriwal after AAP’s Delhi defeat
Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal took a sharp dig at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its chief Arvind Kejriwal following their electoral debacle in the Delhi assembly polls. Sharing an image of Draupadi’s cheer haran from the Mahabharat, Maliwal linked AAP’s loss to Kejriwal’s alleged arrogance.
"Even Ravan’s arrogance did not last," she wrote in another post on X, in a clear swipe at the former Delhi CM.
Maliwal’s reference to Draupadi’s disrobing alludes to her allegations last year that she was assaulted inside Kejriwal’s residence by one of his close aides. The fallout led to her estrangement from AAP.
Her remarks came as BJP surged ahead in the Delhi assembly elections, positioning itself to form the government in the capital after 27 years. Even Kejriwal himself was trailing in the New Delhi constituency, a stunning setback for the two-time chief minister.

Election Results 2025: ‘Beginning of the end for AAP’, says BJP’s Hitesh Jain on Delhi Election Results
BJP Mumbai Vice President Hitesh Jain has declared that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is witnessing the start of its downfall following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s decisive victory in the Delhi Assembly elections. Calling it a major setback for Arvind Kejriwal’s party, Jain said the results mark a new political chapter for the capital.
Speaking to IANS, Jain credited the BJP’s win to a campaign focused on real issues. “Our top leadership ran an effective campaign addressing people's concerns, and the results reflect a shift towards a new era in Delhi’s governance,” he stated.
Sharpening his attack on the AAP, Jain claimed that Kejriwal’s government had failed to deliver on its promises over the past decade. “For ten years, the AAP has indulged in false promises without real change. Once credibility is lost, it is extremely difficult to regain,” he said.
He further accused Kejriwal of misleading voters. “Deception has a shelf life—eventually, people see through it. The people of Delhi have given him a befitting reply,” Jain added.
Jain also pointed to corruption allegations against the AAP, citing the liquor policy case and the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ controversy. “The party that claimed to stand against corruption is now deeply entangled in scams. When a government neither performs nor takes responsibility, public trust crumbles,” he remarked.
Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Jain said voters had reaffirmed their trust in his vision. He also mocked the Congress, calling its performance one of the worst in recent memory. “They contested half-heartedly, knowing they stood no chance,” he said.
Jain concluded by stating, “This is the beginning of the end for the Aam Aadmi Party.”

Election Result 2025: 'I have not checked yet', says Priyanka Gandhi on Delhi election results
The Congress party appears headed for another electoral debacle in Delhi, with counting trends indicating a complete shutout. According to the Election Commission of India, the BJP is leading in 41 seats, while the AAP has secured leads in 29. The Congress, however, has failed to make any impact, still struggling to secure a single seat.
When asked about the party’s dismal performance, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi responded, "I don't know, I haven't checked the results yet."
Exit polls had already predicted a grim outcome, with two out of six forecasting zero seats for the Congress. If these trends hold, the party will once again be wiped out in the national capital, further cementing its declining influence with no clear revival strategy in sight.

Election Result 2025: Kejriwal’s old ‘Another Birth’ remark backfires as BJP ousts AAP in Delhi
In a major political upset, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a devastating defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, with party chief Arvind Kejriwal losing his stronghold in the New Delhi constituency. Adding to the embarrassment, a 2023 video of Kejriwal's bold assertion that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would need "another birth" to defeat AAP in Delhi has resurfaced and gone viral.
Kejriwal had made the remark while dismissing the BJP’s chances of reclaiming power in the capital. However, as the election results unfolded, the BJP secured a commanding victory, winning 47 out of 70 seats, while AAP trailed far behind with just 22.
The BJP's resurgence in Delhi, after 26 years out of power, marks a significant blow to Kejriwal's leadership. His defeat in New Delhi to BJP's Parvesh Verma further underscored the party's declining influence. Meanwhile, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia also lost in Jangpura, while Atishi, another key AAP leader, faced a tough fight in Kalkaji.
The viral video has fueled criticism against Kejriwal, with BJP leaders and social media users mocking his overconfidence. Many see the election outcome as a direct rejection of AAP’s governance and policies, particularly its handling of the controversial Delhi liquor policy.
As the BJP celebrates its victory, AAP faces an uncertain future, with its leadership under scrutiny and its political stronghold in the capital shattered.

Election Results 2025 Live: BJP set to reclaim Delhi after 26 years as Anna Hazare criticizes AAP over liquor policy
As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appeared poised to secure power in Delhi after more than 26 years, activist Anna Hazare took a swipe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), attributing its downfall to its liquor policy and prioritization of money over public service.
The AAP, which emerged from Hazare’s 2011 anti-corruption movement, trailed behind the BJP as votes were counted for the 70-member Delhi assembly. Trends from the Election Commission website showed the BJP leading in 48 seats, while the AAP lagged with 22.
Manish Sisodia, a senior AAP leader and former deputy chief minister, conceded defeat from Jangpura, while Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced a possible loss from his New Delhi constituency.
Speaking to reporters in his Ralegan Siddhi village, Hazare remarked, "With the liquor policy issue came the money, and they drowned in it. The AAP’s image was tarnished. People saw Kejriwal talking about clean character and then about liquor."
Hazare, who distanced himself from Kejriwal when the latter formed the AAP in 2012, criticized the party for failing to uphold selfless service. "Money took the front seat, which dented AAP’s image, leading to its defeat," he said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22, claiming undue favors were granted to license holders. The policy, implemented in November 2021, was scrapped in September 2022 amid corruption allegations.
Hazare reiterated his long-standing stance against political ambitions, stating, "I have been saying from the beginning that a candidate’s character should be clean and spotless. They should know the virtues of sacrifice and have the capacity to tolerate insults. These qualities win people’s trust. I kept saying this, but they did not understand."

Election results live: Congress' Robert Vadra reacts to poll results
"The citizens of Delhi saw that Kejriwal did not perform and they did not keep the promises they made... In 2012-13, Kejriwal used my name. He was an upcoming politician trying to create a base for himself... He carried out a movement but he forgot his foundation... I was surprised at how he falsely accused me only because I'm a part of the Gandhi family. He felt that he could use my name and promote himself. He would bring up A4 size papers and show it in a press conference but there was nothing he could prove... He just knew that if he used somebody from the Gandhi family, he would get exposure... Today seeing how Arvind Kejriwal's party has come down to about 20 seats... The people of Delhi were very happy with Sheila Dixit... Congress has done well, much better than a decade ago," Robert Vadra said.

Election Results 2025 Live: As the Delhi government navigates through multiple litigations with the Lieutenant Governor (LG), it finds itself at a crossroads in the Supreme Court, with key petitions challenging the Centre’s 2023 law that grants the LG sweeping powers in controlling services in the national capital. These ongoing cases, particularly the contentious GNCTD Act, 2023, could reshape the governance landscape in Delhi, especially with the BJP poised to form the next government.
The legal battle comes in the wake of the Centre’s decision to centralize control over administrative services, empowering the LG with authority over crucial decisions. A significant petition challenges the Centre's law that establishes the pre-eminence of the LG in Delhi's administrative affairs, including the authority to appoint government lawyers. This landmark case could set a precedent for how governance is structured in Delhi moving forward.
Key legal struggles
Among the Delhi government’s active petitions, one pertains to the appointment of the chairperson of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC). The Delhi government has also filed cases challenging the LG’s interference with schemes like sending teachers abroad for training and the reactivation of the Farishte scheme, which provides emergency services.
Perhaps most striking is the case against the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), in which the LG’s role is under scrutiny due to illegal tree felling in the Delhi Ridge area. The cases, which reflect the growing tension between the elected AAP government and the appointed LG, have taken on heightened significance amid the larger constitutional dispute.
A new chapter with BJP in power?
As the BJP is set to take control in Delhi, the outcome of these cases in the Supreme Court will be pivotal. The shifting political landscape raises questions about how these ongoing legal battles will unfold. Will the BJP-led government maintain the same stance as the outgoing AAP administration in challenging the LG’s influence, or will they seek a resolution?
The legal drama dates back to May 2023 when the Centre introduced the Delhi Services Bill, which places administrative control over services under the LG’s purview. The bill, cleared by Parliament and signed into law by President Droupadi Murmu, followed a tumultuous period marked by disputes between the Delhi government and the Centre.
Supreme Court’s role and future implications
The Supreme Court had previously referred a crucial petition regarding the Centre's May 2023 ordinance to a five-judge bench, marking a turning point in the long-standing power struggle. The ordinance removed the Delhi government’s control over services and created an authority for posting and transferring Group-A officers in Delhi, among other territories. The new law places the LG in a dominant position, with decisions made by a majority vote within a newly formed authority, and in cases of disagreement, the LG's decision is final.
The AAP government has fiercely opposed the law, calling it a "deception" and a violation of the principle of collective responsibility. They argue that the law undermines the autonomy of an elected government, a stance supported by the Supreme Court in a prior ruling which had emphasized the need for elected officials to have control over bureaucrats.
As these legal proceedings continue, all eyes will be on the Supreme Court's verdict, which could either reinforce the balance of power between Delhi’s elected leaders and the appointed LG, or further tilt the scales in favor of centralized control. What happens next could dramatically alter the governance structure in India’s capital and provide a template for other states with similar power struggles.
