What is at stake for AAP, BJP, and Congress, as Delhi goes to poll

Delhi is set to vote in the first major election of the year, with high stakes for all three key political players—AAP, BJP, and Congress. The outcome will not only decide who governs the national capital but could also have wider political implications.


For AAP, this election is a crucial test of its survival. Having dominated Delhi politics for a decade, the party faces growing challenges, including anti-incumbency and governance concerns. While its welfare schemes—such as free electricity and improved public schools—continue to resonate with the working class, any electoral setback could weaken its position, making it vulnerable to defections and political attacks.

For BJP, winning Delhi is about more than just state politics. With a large migrant population, the city influences the political landscape of the Hindi heartland. A victory here would strengthen the party’s dominance, while a loss would signal a failure to dislodge AAP, a party it sees as a disruptive force beyond Delhi. BJP is banking on dissatisfaction with AAP’s governance and aiming to consolidate support among middle-class and upper-income voters.

For Congress, the election will determine whether it remains a marginal player in Delhi or stages a comeback. Having failed to win a single seat in the last two assembly elections, the party is hoping to regain lost ground at AAP’s expense. However, its aggressive campaign against AAP has also strained ties within the broader opposition alliance, raising questions about future cooperation at the national level.

As voters head to the booths, the stakes are high for all three parties. The outcome will shape not just Delhi’s leadership but also set the tone for political battles ahead.
