In the ruthless arena of Indian politics, victory isn’t handed over. It is earned with grit, strategy, and a finger on the public pulse. The outcome of Delhi elections 2025 is not just a triumph for the BJP but an indictment of Arvind Kejriwal’s political myopia.
The writing was on the wall, yet the AAP chose to ignore it, hiding behind hollow rhetoric and a crumbling moral high ground. This defeat is not a shock.

The 2025 Delhi assembly election has delivered a resounding victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — a result few predicted until months ago. When former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal resigned and plunged into election mode, most believed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would retain its stronghold.

بھارت کی خارجہ پالیسی نے ۲۰۲۳ میں واسودھائیو کٹمبکم یا “دنیا ایک خاندان ہے” کے اصول کو مجسم روپ دیا۔ ایک طرف تو بھارت نے “اجلاس برائے عالم جنوب کی آواز” کے ذریعے عالم جنوب کے ممالک کو ایک پلیٹ فارم مہیا کیا جبکہ دوسری جانب جی ۲۰ کے سربراہ کے بطور اپنے سال بھر طویل کردار کو استعمال میں لاتے ہوئے جامعیت کی وکالت کے ذریعے افریقن یونین کی رکنیت سازی یقینی بنائی۔ اسی طرح، دو طرفہ محاذوں پر بھارت نے وسطی اور یکساں عظیم قوتوں کے ہمراہ شراکت داریوں کو متنوع بنایا جیسا کہ جرمنی اور روس۔ بھارت اور...

“Ram ayenge toh angana sajayenge” – The popular song played on the transistor radio in the small chai ki tapri in a bylane of Delhi’s Sukhdev Vihar, a posh, urban upper middle-class neighborhood, as I sipped my cup of quintessential masala tea. There was an element of joie de vivre in the air as the connoisseurs of chai at the tea stall discussed politics while sipping the de facto national drink. In particular, they were rejoicing in the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
