Delhi will hold assembly elections on February 5 for 70 seats, marking a fierce contest between AAP and BJP. AAP, led by current CM Atishi and convenor Arvind Kejriwal, is confident of retaining power after their sweeping victory in 2020 with 62 seats.
AAP's achievements include improved school education, free travel, and subsidized electricity. Despite past controversies, including former CM Arvind Kejriwal's arrest over the liquor policy and Manish Sisodia's imprisonment, AAP's prospects remain strong.
BJP, on the other hand, has announced 58 candidates so far, including Kapil Mishra, Harish Khurana, Manish Chaudhary, Satish Jain, and Anil Gaur in its latest list. The 2025 election is significant due to ongoing issues like pollution, although Delhi has taken steps such as scrapping diesel vehicles and closing polluting factories.
BJP will need a strong agenda to challenge AAP, and ultimately, voters will decide the fate of the parties based on their promises and achievements. The outcome will hinge on which party best addresses the concerns of Delhiites.
