Jana Shakti is paramount! Development wins, good governance triumphs. I bow to my dear sisters and brothers of Delhi for this resounding and historic mandate to @BJP4India. We are humbled and honoured to receive these blessings,” Modi said in a post on X.
PM Modi said, “It is our guarantee that we will leave no stone unturned in developing Delhi, improving the overall quality of life for the people and ensuring that Delhi has a prime role to play in building a Viksit Bharat.”
PM Modi also expressed his gratitude to the BJP workers. “I am so proud of each and every @BJP4India Karyakarta, who has worked very hard, leading to this outstanding result. We will work even more vigorously and serve the wonderful people of Delhi,” he said.
According to the Election Commission, the BJP has 47 of a total of 70 seats in its bag. Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP, which has ruled the union territory for a decade, managed to get only 23 seats.

This marks the third major win for the BJP in the last four months after Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections.
The Aam Aadmi Party, established in 2012, secured governance in Delhi in 2013 and had maintained its administrative control since 2015.
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has accepted defeat in the Delhi assembly election and said that his party will play the role of a constructive opposition and continue to serve the people of Delhi. Kejriwal lost the New Delhi constituency seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma.
