As the counting of votes for the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 is underway, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Jagdambika Pal has predicted a major setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, former CM Arvind Kejriwal, and ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia would face defeat in the elections.
The AAP, which has been in power for two consecutive terms, is aiming for a third victory, while the BJP is making an aggressive push to reclaim control of the national capital after more than 20 years. Most exit polls released on Wednesday indicated an advantage for the BJP, though AAP leaders dismissed them, stating that their party has historically outperformed exit poll projections.
Atishi, contesting from the Kalkaji seat, is facing a tough fight against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress leader Alka Lamba. Arvind Kejriwal is locked in a high-profile battle with BJP candidate Parvesh Verma and Congress’s Sandeep Dikshit. Meanwhile, Manish Sisodia is contesting from Jangpura, where he hopes to retain his influence despite legal and political challenges.
The final results are expected by the evening, with both AAP and BJP closely watching the trends. While the BJP remains confident of a strong comeback, AAP leaders are optimistic about securing another term in power. The counting process is being closely monitored, and security has been tightened at counting centers across the city.
