Delhi elections 2025: As initial trends indicated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would surpass the majority threshold in the results of the Delhi assembly elections, BJP Delhi chief Virendra Sachdeva announced that a double-engine government would be established in the national capital under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. He criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), implying that dishonesty towards the public leads to adverse outcomes.
