tThe outcome of the Delhi parliamentary elections has the greatest possible message against India’s opposition. If they are not integrated into the ever-growing power of the Baltya Janata Party, Indian politics will continue to see its advantage in the future.
Delhi is a mini India. The election results are important. Because it reflects the moods of various Indians, including Punjavis, Biharis, government servants, Pahadis, Muslims, women and Dalits.
If the opposition remains split, the BJP will be very safe to maintain its dominant position in Indian politics. In this scenario, the BJP needs only one split and rule formula strategy.

“Free Sinker”
In many seats in Delhi, the votes between AAP and BJP candidates are roughly the same, and the votes received by the Congress speak volumes about the Indian Union’s failure experiment.
The BJP has 45.76% votes and the AAP has 43.55% votes. In the final result, the vote difference could be 3-3.3% or less. That means Arvind Kejriwal and AAP are defeated, but not finished. The Congress has received 6.36% of the votes. If Congress and AAP formed the Prepol Alliance, the BJP would have found Delhi challenge difficult.
Kejriwal lost to BJP’s Parvesh Verma with 4,089 votes. Congressional candidate Sandeep Dikshit also lost, but won 4,568 votes. If there had been an alliance between the AAP and the Congress, Mahaul would have been different.
However, IFS and Buts do not take away the fact that the moment belongs to the BJP. Again, the party has proven that the genius is organizing executives to spread politics and perfectly deploying Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s brand values on the campaign field.
Home Minister Amit Shah, who oversaw the bigger strategy against AAP’s Chief Kejwal, has a final laugh. Shah had to wait ten years to get this moment. The Maverick leader, who wanted to be a destroyer of traditional Indian politics, was defeated through the ballot box. Shah has long said that in Indian politics, parties without the declared political ideology are not sustainable and unacceptable by the people. Participating in politics with national ambitions, but without a clearly defined state outlook, elections of more than two or three will not survive.
Shah is strongly opposed to “freelancer” Kejwal, who wanted to do politics that could rob BJP votes that leaned to the right and left-leaning parliamentary votes. Kejwal wanted to enjoy power without entering an ongoing ideological war.
The BJP hated seeing them poaching Congress votes and BJP votes, so they were very motivated to play against Kejwal.
The Congress will become an accidental beneficiary of the BJP’s efforts to defeat Kejwal. The AAP has been a major threat to Congressional voting banks in many pockets.

Fake Promises Saga
Twenty years ago, Kejwal was actually a leader with a different side. He was an organizer and showed off his talent to build the institution. To build his political career, he first spoke out against corruption. He took on a large leader like Sharad Pawar and held a special press conference against Mukesh Ambani, India’s wealthiest man at the Constitutional Club. He then dropped the issue of corruption completely as soon as he entered electoral politics.
Before people noticed his opportunism, the AAP leader made a compelling promise to provide a civic government. This was his master stroke.
Civic management and local government funding patterns in urban India are some of the biggest failures of all governments, both in the Centre and the State.
However, when it was time to show his moral compass and basic ideological beliefs, Kejwal played a suspicious game.
During the Delhi riots, he clearly stated that he did not help Muslims or Hindu victims and was involved in a major movement against the Civil Rights Amendment Act (CAA) of 2019, and that he was clearly entitled to the Shaheen Bagh protesters. He never even spoke up.
Kejriwal was successful for 10 years as it addressed the civic issues of education, health, water supply, poorest people in the poor, nuisance of vehicle traffic, and free electricity supply for free public transport. Kejwal received envious coverage in national and local media for the first time while fighting for civic issues. However, today’s results show that people have responded heavily to Kejwal’s failed promise.
Here is a light letter from Delhi residents to see. Air pollution is a shame for the people. Killer air remains uncontrollable. Garbage clearance is a headache in all areas. Every time Kejwal takes stock of his defeat, he should list the seas of dirty Yamuna on top.
Most importantly, people were tired of hearing the excuse that the AAP government was not allowed to function by the BJP-led central government. The BJP had actually adopted all the tricks of political trade to hit Kejwal hard, but that’s not the reason to allow Delhi AQI 400 plus and play with the future of children.
Bus rides are free for women, but buses don’t come on time and the frequency is an issue for most routes. Instead of serving Delhi well, Kejwal became too ambitious and began to expand without building a consistent party or thought process within the party.
The AAP rules in Punjab are not rave reviews for what may have influenced voters in Delhi.
Kejwal, a phenomenon of Indian politics, made many mistakes, but his biggest mistake was Delhi. Se Jo Vaada Kiya Vo Nibhaya Nahi. He broke his promise.
