Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) regional government was until now help by Aam Admi Party (Common People’s Party). They were kinda like a startup political party that shot up in popularity out of nowhere. They ran on an “anti-corruption” platform and while in power instated lukewarm welfare services. Their leader, Arvind Kejriwal, held the Chief Minister’s office from 2013 until now.
Last year, BJP started engaging AAP in political warfare. AAP ended up being embroiled in a corruption scandal and Kejriwal was put under arrest.
Not sure what this means in the long term. It is hard to tell what goes on in whatever in the brain of a Delhiite if it can be called that. It is kind of a rebound for BJP since this last national election where they were not able to steamroll which was a considered a disappointing showing for them.
Wasn’t he campaigning on Hindutva-lite? Really reminded me of Biden/ Harris’ diet fascism.
I have no idea but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true. I know that Congress tried this and failed.
Yep this is the article I read
Was it a landslide victory? Or was it somewhat close?
Not close.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) won 47 seats in the 70-member assembly that includes India’s capital, New Delhi, ousting the Aam Aadmi party (AAP), which has ruled it since 2015. The AAP won 22 seats.
