Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia's loss leaves AAP needing to nurture new leadership as it transitions into opposition. Key remaining figures Atishi and Gopal Rai will need to consolidate AAP's position in the assembly amidst potential defections and leadership disputes.

BJP’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years marks a major political shift. Political analyst Yashwant Deshmukh analyses AAP’s decline, citing middle-class disenchantment, the Sheesh Mahal controversy, and BJP’s strategic course correction in this Delhi election

The new Delhi govt faces significant financial challenges in delivering on BJP's ambitious election promises, including monthly payments for underprivileged women and seniors. With a projected tax revenue of Rs 58,750 crore against increasing expenses, funding these schemes may require reallocating funds from other sectors or seeking central assistance.

BJP won a resounding victory in Delhi, capturing 48 of 70 assembly seats, especially in areas bordering Haryana. AAP maintained dominance in Muslim and Dalit seats, while unauthorized colonies largely supported them. The division of votes between AAP and Congress benefited BJP significantly.

Congress strategists decided that the party could think of rebuilding and reviving itself in Delhi only after AAP was ousted from power, which would also mark the end of the country’s experiment with ‘new politics’ that grew at the cost of Congress

The BJP capitalized on the alleged financial irregularities in AAP's excise policy and the costly renovation of the CM's residence to undermine AAP’s image. They also targeted slum dwellers and the economically weak with promises of housing and financial aid, leading to BJP's resurgence in Delhi after 27 years.
