The BJP’s victory celebrations began even before the official results were declared. The streets near the Delhi BJP State office were filled with supporters brandishing flags, chanting slogans, and parading with decorated horses and large bands.
The aggressive celebrations, however, were tempered by concerns over the narrow margins of victory and unexpected opposition strength in several rural strongholds.
The BJP’s poll debutant Yogendra Chandoliya trounced the Congress’ Udit Raj by 2.90 lakh votes in the North West Delhi seat to record the highest margin of victory among all the winning candidates in the national capital in the Lok Sabha elections.
Chandoliya’s victory margin was recorded at 2,90,849 lakh votes.
According to the latest counting trends, the BJP has garnered a vote share of 54 per cent, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stands at 24 per cent, and the Congress at 19 per cent. Despite failing to win any seats, AAP’s vote share saw an impressive increase of nearly six percent compared to the 2019 polls.
Conversely, the BJP experienced a nearly two percent drop in its polled votes compared to 2019, although it still managed a clean sweep for the third consecutive time.
