New Delhi (National Times): In a major political shake-up, BJP candidate Parvesh Verma has defeated AAP Convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the prestigious New Delhi constituency. Verma secured victory with a margin of 3,182 votes, delivering a significant setback to AAP in its stronghold.
Adding to BJP’s winning streak, National Secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa emerged victorious in Rajouri Garden, defeating A. Chandela by a resounding margin of 18,190 votes. Sirsa’s win further cements BJP’s growing dominance in the Delhi Assembly elections.
However, AAP managed to retain some ground, with Delhi Chief Minister Atishi securing a crucial win from the Kalkaji constituency. Her victory offers a glimmer of hope for the party, which is facing an uphill battle in the overall election trends.
The BJP’s performance in these key constituencies underscores its resurgence in Delhi politics, where the party is eyeing a return to power after 27 years. Meanwhile, AAP’s struggles highlight the challenges it faces in defending its governance record against the BJP’s aggressive electoral push.
