Delhi Set for Pivotal State Election as BJP Challenges AAP's Decade-Long Rule

The BJP aims to capitalize on corruption allegations against AAP while voters weigh welfare policies and governance track records.

Delhi's state election will take place on Wednesday, with results expected on Saturday, as the BJP seeks to unseat the AAP after a decade of governance in the capital.
The AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, has focused its campaign on its popular welfare initiatives, including affordable electricity, free health care, and improved public schools, while avoiding direct engagement with corruption allegations.
The BJP is leveraging recent corruption accusations against AAP leaders, including Kejriwal's arrest last year, to challenge the incumbent party's credibility, though Kejriwal and his party deny the charges as politically motivated.
Vishwas Nagar, a BJP stronghold in East Delhi, highlights a key battleground, with local issues like pollution, traffic congestion, and water supply failures taking center stage in voter concerns.
BJP leaders, including Rajnath Singh and JP Nadda, have emphasized the need for a 'double-engine government' to align Delhi with national progress under Prime Minister Modi's leadership.
