Reasons for AAP's defeat in delhi elections...?
The results of Delhi assembly elections are out and after 27 years bjp is coming back to power with a landslide victory. Along with this, the party leaders are disappointed as the results are contrary to what Arvind Kejriwal's aam aadmi party was expecting. bjp, which had 8 seats, reached 48 seats this time, while aam aadmi party fell directly from 62 seats to 22. Meanwhile, the question arises that why did the people of delhi not bring AAP back even after so many announcements and schemes? Actually, there are not one but many reasons for this.
Anti-incumbency
After being in power for 10 years, aam aadmi party had to face anti-incumbency this time. The party may have given good results in the field of education and health, but poor air quality and polluted water of yamuna were a major reason for displeasure. On the other hand, arvind kejriwal kept claiming that the BJP's central government was creating hurdles in the work of Delhi. Now the public took it as an 'excuse' instead of the real reason.
Did 'alcohol-Sheeshmahal' spoil Arvind Kejriwal's image?
Arvind kejriwal has always been seen raising his voice against corruption, but this time his image got tainted due to many things. One of these reasons was the alleged money laundering case related to the excise policy. bjp had alleged that the AAP government wants to make delhi a 'city of alcoholics' and is ready to spend hundreds of crores to give contracts.
Many leaders of Aam Aadmi party were arrested in the investigation of central agencies. These included Sanjay Singh, manish Sisodia, arvind kejriwal etc. Due to the arrest, manish Sisodia was forced to leave the post of deputy cm and arvind kejriwal also left the post of CM. It is also worth noting that the AAP candidates who went to jail have lost in this election. Apart from this, the 'Sheesh Mahal' controversy also remained in the headlines, which dented the image of Arvind Kejriwal. The CAG report revealed that Rs 7.91 to Rs 33.66 crore were spent on building the cm residence.
