The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has set its sights on a comeback in Delhi after nearly three decades. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi as its face and a renewed focus on strategy, the BJP is going head-to-head with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal, in the upcoming 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. While the BJP is determined to break its 27-year dry spell in the capital, the AAP is confident of securing a third consecutive term and continuing its stronghold.
Delhi’s political landscape, shaped by two consecutive AAP sweeps in 2015 and 2020, now stands at a critical juncture as the BJP pulls out all the stops to make a winning comeback.
To maximise its chances, the BJP has fielded prominent candidates across key constituencies, factoring in caste dynamics and regional influences. The party has so far announced 59 candidates for the 70-member Assembly elections, reflecting its strategic focus on securing a broader voter base.
