The 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, held on February 5, 2025, have set the stage for a significant political showdown in India’s capital. As the city awaits the results on February 8, the political atmosphere is charged with anticipation and controversy.
Allegations of Poaching Attempts
In the lead-up to the results, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to lure AAP candidates with offers of ₹15 crore and ministerial positions to defect. Kejriwal claimed that 16 AAP candidates received such offers from the BJP. In response, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has issued a notice to Kejriwal, requesting his presence for questioning regarding these allegations.
Exit Poll Projections
Exit polls have projected a significant victory for the BJP in the Delhi Assembly elections, suggesting that the party may secure a majority in the 70-member assembly. If these projections hold true, it would mark a notable comeback for the BJP in the capital, where the AAP has been in power for the past two terms.
Awaiting the Verdict
As Delhiites await the official results, the political landscape remains tense. The Election Commission of India will begin counting votes on February 8, with initial trends expected by 8:00 AM and final results anticipated by the evening. The outcome will determine the future governance of the national capital and could have broader implications for the political dynamics in India.
