The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a decisive lead in the fiercely contested Delhi Assembly elections, surpassing the halfway mark of 36 seats, according to the Election Commission. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) follows at a distant second with over 20 seats. This marks a significant turnaround for the BJP, which had been limited to single digits in the last two assembly elections.
Meanwhile, the Congress failed to make an impact, trailing in all 70 Assembly constituencies, placing it on course for a third consecutive electoral washout in the national capital.
Early Lead and Momentum Shift
Counting of votes began at 8 AM, with the BJP taking an early lead. The AAP briefly closed the gap, bringing the contest to a near deadlock. However, the BJP quickly regained momentum, steadily inching towards the 50-seat mark and solidifying its position.
