NEW DELHI: The voting percentage in the Delhi Assembly Elections until 11 AM has shown a mixed trend across various constituencies, with North-East Delhi leading at 24.87% and Central Delhi lagging at 16.46%. Polling has been brisk in areas like Shahdara (23.30%) and South-West Delhi (21.90%), while other regions such as New Delhi (16.80%) and West Delhi (17.67%) have seen relatively slower voter turnout.
The political atmosphere in Delhi is charged as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Congress are leaving no stone unturned to secure a victory. AAP, which swept the last elections with 62 seats, is reportedly apprehensive about losing ground this time. The party, which has been in power for the last decade, is facing a tough challenge from the BJP, hoping to make a comeback after winning only 8 seats in the previous elections.
The BJP, buoyed by its recent performances in other state elections, is aiming to form the government in Delhi this time. Party workers are aggressively campaigning, hoping to capitalize on anti-incumbency sentiments and the perceived dissatisfaction among some sections of the electorate.
Meanwhile, the Congress, which has been out of power in Delhi for the last ten years and failed to win a single seat in the last assembly elections, is optimistic about making a comeback. The party is hoping to secure a few seats and play a significant role in the post-election scenario, especially if the results lead to a hung assembly.
Political analysts suggest that the election results could be a tight contest. The AAP will fight to retain its dominance, the BJP will aim to regain lost ground, and Congress will strive to re-enter the political fray. The outcome will depend heavily on voter turnout in the remaining hours and each partyโs ability to mobilize its supporters.
As the day progresses, all eyes are on Delhi. The results are expected to have significant implications for the political landscape of the national capital.
