Key Candidates for Delhi Assembly Elections 2025

The Delhi Assembly elections are set for a fierce contest among key contenders: AAP, BJP, and Congress. Arvind Kejriwal, AAP chief and former Chief Minister, is seeking re-election from New Delhi, a seat he has held since 2013. He faces strong opposition from BJP’s Parvesh Singh Verma, son of former CM Sahib Singh Verma, and Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit, son of late CM Sheila Dikshit.

In Kalkaji, Chief Minister Atishi is defending her seat against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri, a former MP, and Congress’ Alka Lamba, president of the party’s Mahila Congress. Atishi won in 2020 with a margin of 11,393 votes.

Meanwhile, former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia has moved from Patparganj to contest from Jangpura. He faces BJP’s Tarvinder Singh Marwah and Congress’ Farhad Suri, heightening the stakes in this closely watched election.

The BJP has enlisted several high-profile “outsiders” who recently joined its ranks, including former Delhi Congress president Arvinder Singh Lovely, who will contest from Gandhi Nagar, ex-AAP minister Raj Kumar Chauhan from Mangolpuri, former AAP transport minister Kailash Gahlot from Bijwasan, and ex-minister Raaj Kumar Anand from Patel Nagar.

Major Political Parties Contesting in Delhi Assembly Elections 2025

The upcoming Delhi Assembly elections are set to feature a fierce three-way battle between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), BJP, and the Congress, which is working to regain its position in the city. The BJP is making a strong push to return to power after more than 26 years, focusing on its “Parivartan” (change) campaign and taking aim at the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP over corruption allegations. The Congress party which ruled Delhi from 1998 to 2013, has been in political wilderness in the last over one decade.

The BJP’s last term in power in Delhi lasted from December 2, 1993, to December 3, 1998, a period that saw three different chief ministers: Madan Lal Khurana, Sahib Singh Verma, and Sushma Swaraj.

Key Issues and Campaign Focus for Delhi Elections 2025

The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections are dominated by key issues affecting residents and the promises made by the major political parties. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has focused its campaign on free services such as electricity, water, healthcare, education, and public transport, particularly for women. AAP has introduced the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana, which offers Rs 2,100 per month to women, and the Sanjeevani Yojana, providing free healthcare up to Rs 25 lakh for senior citizens in both government and private hospitals.

In contrast, the BJP has launched a vigorous attack on AAP, particularly targetting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with corruption allegations, including the “Sheesh Mahal” and “liquor scam.” The BJP is also highlighting the AAP government’s failures over the past decade, including issues with clean water, road quality, and air pollution.

The two parties have exchanged accusations over voter list manipulation. AAP claims that BJP is deleting votes of its supporters, particularly in constituencies like New Delhi, which Kejriwal represents. Meanwhile, the BJP accuses AAP of providing documents to illegal immigrants from Rohingya and Bangladesh for electoral gain.

Congress, hoping to regain its foothold, has promised the ‘Jeevan Raksha Yojana’ for free health insurance up to Rs 25 lakh. It has also proposed the ‘Pyari Didi Yojana,’ offering Rs 2,500 per month to eligible women, if it is voted to power in Delhi.

What Happened in Delhi Assembly Elections 2020?

The AAP, founded in 2012, quickly made its mark in Delhi politics with a strong showing in the 2013 assembly elections. The party secured 28 of the 70 seats, capturing 29.5% of the vote share, while the BJP won 32 seats and Congress took 8, with vote shares of 32.3% and 24.6%, respectively.

In the 2020 Delhi Assembly election, AAP’s performance remained strong, winning 62 seats with 53.6% of the vote. The BJP increased its seat count to 8 and improved its vote share to 39%, but Congress once again failed to win any seats, with its vote share goingg down to just 4.3%.
