Delhi Election 2025: In the initial trends of the Delhi Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seems to be moving towards a majority. At the same time, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is also giving a tough fight, while the Congress party is seen leading on only one seat.BJP's lead, AAP's challengeAccording to the latest data of the Election Commission, the BJP is leading on 41 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party is leading on 29 seats. Out of the total 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly, 36 seats are required to form the government. The BJP's lead is indicating that there may be a big change in the politics of the capital.Disappointing performance for CongressThe performance of the Congress party, which was once strong in Delhi, seems to be very weak in this election. Earlier, while the Congress was ahead on 2 seats, now this figure has come down to just 1 seat. It is clear from this that the voters of Delhi are not giving any special importance to the Congress in this election.Omar Abdullah's sarcasm on differences in India allianceThe opposition factions have started brainstorming on the Delhi election results. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah shared a GIF on the social media platform 'X' (formerly Twitter) taking a dig. In this post, he wrote, "And fight among themselves", which clearly points to the differences that exist in the India alliance.Political background of Omar AbdullahOmar Abdullah is currently the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and has previously held the post from 2009 to 2014. He is the vice president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, while his father, Farooq Abdullah, is still the president of the party. Omar Abdullah has also been an MP from Srinagar Lok Sabha seat from 1998 to 2009 and has also held the post of Minister of State for External Affairs. He is considered a supporter of uniting the India alliance in Indian politics.Impact on future politicsIf BJP wins a majority, it can prove to be a big setback for Aam Aadmi Party, because Arvind Kejriwal's party has been in a strong position in Delhi politics in the last few elections.Now it has to be seen whether BJP maintains its lead in the final results or AAP is able to make an unexpected upset. At the same time, the weak performance of Congress can raise new questions about opposition politics.
