'Aap-da' has left Delhi: BJP's poster as party retakes capital after 27 years
The BJP, which is set to dislodge the AAP and end its 27-year wait in Delhi, put out a poster today that read, 'In Delhi, the BJP is coming' (Dilli mein BJP aa rahi hain). Trends from the Election Commission trends show the BJP ahead on over 45 seats while the ruling AAP was leading on over 20. The Congress, which drew a blank in the 2015 and 2020 Assembly polls, looked on course to secure a hat-trick of not opening its account again. Top leaders from the AAP, including Arvind Kejriwal, and Manish Sisodia lost, while Saurabh Bhardwaj was trailing and appeared headed for a defeat. However, Chief Minister Atishi won from Kalkaji after a stiff challenge from her BJP rival Ramesh Bidhuri.
