Kalkaji Election Results 2025 Highlights: I have won seat, but not time to celebrate, says Atishi on Kalkaji win against Bhiduri

Kalkaji (Atishi vs Alka Lamba vs Ramesh Bidhuri) Election Results 2025 highlights: The Kalkaji assembly constituency is poised for a high-stakes electoral battle in the upcoming Delhi elections, with AAP’s Atishi facing BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress’ Alka Lamba. Atishi, who won the seat in 2020 with 52.28% of the vote, is now contesting as Delhi’s chief minister after Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation.BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri, a seasoned politician, has previously won from neighbouring Tughlaqabad and twice represented South Delhi in Parliament. Congress' Alka Lamba, contesting from Kalkaji for the first time, is banking on her reputation as a strong orator and grassroots leader.Kalkaji presents a diverse electorate, with upscale areas like Maharani Bagh and Friends Colony contrasting with the dense settlements of Govindpuri. Key issues include waterlogging, poor roads, parking shortages, air pollution, and sanitation concerns, with the waste-to-energy plant in Sukhdev Vihar seen as a major health hazard.Atishi claims to have significantly improved the area’s water and sewage infrastructure, pledging further road development and park maintenance. She maintains close contact with residents through WhatsApp groups and regular visits. Bidhuri, however, accuses AAP of neglecting basic amenities and pitches BJP’s governance as a more effective solution. Lamba highlights potable water shortages, drainage issues, and civic neglect as key concerns.With both AAP and BJP filing complaints with the Election Commission amid escalating tensions, Kalkaji remains a closely watched battleground. The contest will test AAP’s governance record, BJP’s electoral machinery, and Congress’ revival efforts in the national capital.
