On Sunday, Congress leader Abhishek Dutt shared his hopes after the BJP’s big win in the Delhi Assembly elections. He urged the BJP to make sure they follow through on the promises they made during their campaign. Dutt also mentioned that Arvind Kejriwal, the head of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), lost the elections because of his mistakes and arrogance. He recalled a tweet from Kejriwal where he said he would run the elections on his own in Delhi.
Earlier on Sunday, Atishi, who was the Chief Minister of Delhi, resigned after AAP’s defeat in the Assembly elections. She handed her resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena at Raj Niwas. Atishi, who is 43 years old, became Chief Minister in September 2024 after Kejriwal stepped down. She was only the third woman to hold this position in Delhi, following Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit.
The BJP won 48 out of 70 seats, marking a historic return to power in Delhi after 27 years, while AAP secured 22 seats. Unfortunately, the Congress party did not win any seats again. However, Atishi managed to keep her seat in Kalkaji by defeating BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri with a margin of 3,521 votes. Despite her personal victory, Atishi accepted that AAP lost in the elections and promised to keep challenging the BJP.
Atishi’s win in her constituency stood out as many top AAP leaders, such as Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, lost in their areas.
