The much beleaguered Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government would a third full term for themselves having won in 2015 and 2020.
They also enjoyed a 30day government with the support of the Congress in 2013. Given the poor governance they have provided in the national Capital in the past 10 years and also the plethora of corruption charges against them, it would be difficult for them to gain upper hand in March 2025. However, that is feasible if the Congress once again decided to 'not contest'the polls and put up its acndidates only for academic reasons.
Since 2014 Lok Sabha polls, its evident in every election in Delhi that BJP in assembly polls, with poll not being a direct referendum on the leadership of Narendra Modi, fails to touch the mark of 40 percent votes in its favour. In 2013 it garnered 33 percent votes, in 2015 37 percent and in 2020 polls 38 percent.
With Congress vote share not crossing in the double digit figures, the AAP not only won the elections but it number of seats crossed 60 mark on both the occasions in the 70 Developm member house. In 2013 polls, when the Congress had garnered about 15 percent votes, AAP got 28 seats and BJP 32, with the Congress getting eight.
