Development won: PM Modi, People made Delhi 'AAP-da free': Shah

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party's big win in the 2025 Delhi Assembly election, declaring in a post on X that "development (and) good governance won". "My salute and congratulations to all my brothers and sisters for giving a historic victory to BJP... I am very grateful to all of you from the bottom of my heart..." Mr Modi said in Hindi, "We guarantee that we will leave no stone unturned to ensure the all-round development of Delhi, and to make the lives of its people better... will also ensure Delhi plays an important role in building a developed India." "I am very proud of all my workers of BJP who worked day and night for this massive mandate. Now we will be even more strongly dedicated to serving the people of Delhi," the PM said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday hailed the Delhi poll results as the beginning of a new era of development in the national capital and an end to the reign of lies, deceit and corruption. The BJP is determined to fulfil all its promises and make Delhi the number one capital of the world, he said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserting that a developed Delhi was extremely necessary to fulfil the resolve of a developed India. The double-engine government will take the pace of development in Delhi to a new high, he said in a post on X.
BJP president JP Nadda said the party's massive win was a victory of people's unwavering support in its model of service, good governance, welfare of the poor, and development under Modi's able leadership. The "AAP-da" government in Delhi had crossed all limits of corruption, misgovernance and appeasement. The city is now free from its lies, deceit and fraud, and is starting a journey into a new era of progress and respect, he claimed.
The BJP stormed back to power in the national capital - for the first time in over two decades - after routing the outgoing ruling party, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party. The results show that Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP has been hit by severe anti-incumbency with the maverick party losing nearly 15 percent vote share and BJP gaining 10 per cent vote. The Congress has just gained two per cent vote share, clearly showing that the grand old party is still in an electoral coma in the national capital.
