Delhi election Result: What are the reasons for AAP's crushing defeat?

In this compilation, you can find out the main reasons for the crushing defeat of the aam aadmi party in the delhi Assembly elections. In the delhi Assembly elections, important leaders including arvind kejriwal from the aam aadmi party have also faced defeat. The results of the delhi Assembly elections have been released and are creating a stir. It is leading in more than 40 of the total 70 seats. Due to this, the party workers are celebrating the fact that the bjp will form the government in the capital again after 27 years. At the same time, unexpectedly, the aam aadmi party, which has been in power for the last 10 years, is about to step down from the throne. The party is leading in only 20+ seats.

Many election predictions had predicted that AAP would lose the government. But no one expected kejriwal to lose. His defeat in his home constituency, New delhi, by a margin of over 3,000 votes to BJP's parvesh verma has shaken the entire AAP. In addition, another former senior minister, manish Sisodia, lost his chance of winning in Jangpura by a margin of about 500 votes.
Reasons for AAP's defeat:

1. government that has not met expectations:
Despite introducing various attractive free schemes, development work in delhi has been questionable in the last 10 years. The promise of piped water for all and 'full statehood for Delhi' in 2015 has not been fulfilled. The same is true of the promises of 'Rozgar Budget' and 'creation of 20 lakh jobs'. The continuous pollution of the yamuna and the city's air pollution have emerged as a vote bank against the regime.

2. The kejriwal brand was tarnished:
Delhi people voted for the aam aadmi party led by kejriwal as a leader of the common man and an alternative to corruption. However, the name of the aam aadmi party was badly damaged in the delhi liquor scam. The anti-corruption image of kejriwal and his party was also damaged by the rumors that the aam aadmi party led by kejriwal used illegally earned money for elections in other states. The party suffered a setback when key MLAs left the party and joined the bjp a few days before the elections due to loss of confidence and key congress leaders expressed dissatisfaction with the aam aadmi party being in the indian alliance.

3. Lack of long-term plans:
The failure to carry out long-term visionary plans is the main reason for the defeat of the Aam Aadmi Party. Without any concrete ideology or vision, it began to emerge as a growing party centered on Delhi. As a result, the aam aadmi party has failed to deliver the alternative politics or anything like it that the people expected.

4. Anti-incumbency sentiment:
It is common for a party to be discontented with a second term in power. That is what the aam aadmi party has now experienced. Despite announcing several free schemes to offset this, it has not worked for Kejriwal. On the other hand, the bjp has emerged as a significantly revived option, and the increase in personal income tax announced in the budget has shifted the voters’ attention towards the BJP. As a result, the aam aadmi party has lost its seat in Delhi.
