The political battle for Delhi has reached its peak as voters decide the fate of candidates in the Delhi Assembly Election 2025. With polling underway, both AAP and BJP are engaged in an intense contest, each confident about its chances. However, amid this direct fight, a key question arises—can Congress emerge as a kingmaker in Delhi elections?
AAP vs BJP: A High-Stakes Battle
The Delhi Assembly Election 2025 is witnessing a fierce face-off between AAP and BJP. AAP, which has been ruling the state for over a decade, is banking on its governance model and welfare policies to retain power. On the other hand, BJP, which has been out of power in Delhi for more than two decades, is making an aggressive push to dethrone AAP.
Both parties have deployed their top leaders and campaign machinery to woo voters. With polling taking place on 5 February, it is clear that neither party is leaving anything to chance. However, the final results, set to be announced on 8 February, will determine who ultimately secures power in the national capital.
Congress: The Surprise Factor in Delhi Assembly Election 2025?
For the past two elections, Congress has been reduced to a marginal player in Delhi. The party failed to win a single seat in both the 2015 and 2020 Assembly elections. However, in Delhi Assembly Election 2025, Congress is making renewed efforts to regain its lost ground.
With senior leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi actively campaigning, the party is hoping for a revival. Additionally, the presence of local leaders like Alka Lamba, Sandeep Dikshit, and Devendra Yadav has strengthened Congress’ position. If the party manages to attract its traditional voter base, it could become a deciding factor in a close contest between AAP and BJP.
Can Congress Become the Kingmaker?
If Congress secures at least 10% of the vote share, it could create significant hurdles for AAP and BJP. Even if it does not win enough seats to form the government, it might hold the key to power. The Delhi Assembly Election 2025 could see a scenario where Congress’ support becomes crucial in government formation.
As of now, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has reported an 8.10% voter turnout by 9 AM. With polling in full swing, all eyes are now on 8 February, when the final results will decide the political future of Delhi.
