IndiaTimes Saturday, 8 February 2025
The Delhi election results saw BJP reclaim power after 27 years, highlighting voter dissatisfaction with AAP's leadership, particularly Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal's downfall was attributed to perceived corruption and unfulfilled promises, while BJP successfully appealed to the middle-class electorate. The defeat serves as a lesson in humility and focus for Kejriwal.
