Vijender Gupta of BJP was leading in the Rohini constituency. Pardeep Mittal of AAP was trailing by 26003 votes.
Vijender Gupta of BJP won the Rohini constituency, defeating Pardeep Mittal of AAP by 37816 votes in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025.
Counting for all 70 seats of Delhi was completed on Saturday, and saw pollsters' predictions of an AAP defeat coming true.
Ahead of the elections, both parties engaged in a high-octane campaign, with Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi both vying for middle-class votes -- though the BJP is likely to have gotten an edge after the govt at a central level introduced tax relief for the middle class in the Budget presented on Feb 1.
AAP, meanwhile, had to battle a setback to its image courtesy of the liquor excise policy scam which saw heavyweights like Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia spend time behind bars in Tihar.
Development woes, air pollution, and cleaning the Yamuna became talking points ahead of the polls, with all three major contestants relying on election freebies to make their pitch. As BJP looks to clinch Delhi from AAP, Congress -- the latter's national ally -- is a distant third. The grand old party decided not to join hands with AAP and contest the Delhi polls alone, but the comeback it was hoping for does not seem to have materialised.

Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | Counting is underway for the Delhi assembly elections. The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a contest between AAP and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
