Former CM Atishi to be Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, first woman to hold key post

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Tuesday (Feb 11), rejected rumours of internal conflicts within the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) state unit, emphasising that AAP leaders are committed to the party, unlike Congress leaders who have a history of switching parties.&nbsp;
"Switching sides is Congress' culture; they talk about others but do not worry about themselves. I will ask Pratap Singh Bajwa how many MLAs they have in Delhi." Mann said.
Mann then slammed Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, Pratap Singh Bajwa stating that Bajwa should instead count how many MLAs Congress has in Delhi.
"Bajwa has made such claims for years, let him say it... He should not count our MLAs and instead, see how many MLAs Congress has in Delhi," the Punjab CM said.
"The law and order of Punjab is better than most states... We have to put in extra effort being a border state, and we are doing that," he added.&nbsp;
Mann's remarks came after Bajwa claimed that over 30 AAP MLAs were in touch with his Congress party.

BJP supporters and leaders celebrate as the party secures 48 out of 70 seats in the Delhi assembly elections. With AAP facing a massive defeat, all eyes are now on BJP’s chief ministerial pick. What promises has BJP made for Delhi’s future?

Delhi Election: BJP celebrates historic victory in Delhi assembly elections 2025

The Delhi Assembly election saw a significant drop in the number of women winners, from eight in 2020 to just five in 2025, marking the lowest number in the last decade.
This decline is particularly noteworthy given the election's surprising results, which saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerge victorious after 27 years, ousting the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from power.
Outgoing Chief Minister Atishi, the only woman candidate of the AAP who won this time, was among those five newly-elected women MLAs, who now constitute seven per cent of the 70-member assembly.

‘Shameless’: AAP’s Atishi criticised for dancing and celebrating Kalkaji seat win - WATCH

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, won a historic mandate in Delhi polls on Saturday after a 27-year hiatus, ousting the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from power.

Delhi Election Results 2025: Who won which seat? Check full list.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal conceded defeat in the Delhi Assembly election on Saturday (Feb 8) and stressed that his party would play a "constructive role" in opposition while serving the people.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic victory after 27 years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his victory message promised that all-round development of Delhi will be a guarantee of the new BJP government.&nbsp;
BJP&rsquo;s Parvesh Sahib Singh, a probable chief minister face of the party, secured 30,088 votes from the New Delhi constituency, while, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal managed 25,999 votes. Congress's Sandeep Dikshit could only manage 4,568 votes.&nbsp;

However, AAP's defeat could be because of several reasons.&nbsp;
<h2>Sheesh Mahal&nbsp;</h2>
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) scored major victories in the 2015 and 2020 polls. Before the election, the BJP attacked Arvind Kejriwal with a focus on "Sheesh Mahal", a term used to refer to the renovated CM residence during Kejriwal's term.&nbsp;
A report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India added fuel to BJP's charges. According to news reports, the CAG probe found that the estimate for the renovation was Rs 7.91 crore.&nbsp;

It went up to 8.6 crore when work was awarded in 2020. But, by the time the Public Works Department completed the job in 2022, the cost hiked to Rs 33.66 crore.&nbsp;
Kejriwal's party responded to the "Sheesh Mahal" charge with the "Rajmahal" barb, accusing PM Modi of an opulent lifestyle and daring the BJP to show the Prime Minister's residence.&nbsp;
This campaign might have influenced voters, especially because it played out against AAP's promise of clean politics and Kejriwal's claims of eradicating the VIP culture.&nbsp;

<h2>Anti-Incumbency&nbsp;</h2>
The first two terms of AAP witnessed impressive work in sectors including health and education. The power and water subsidies provided by Kejriwal's party made voters happy and the BJP, despite sweeping Lok Sabha polls, struggled to win the Delhi Assembly election that time.&nbsp;
The AAP also asserted that the BJP government at the Centre was creating obstacles in its functioning. However, after ruling for ten years, voters saw such allegations as excuses.&nbsp;

<h2>Liquor Policy&nbsp;</h2>
The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) current term witnessed a row over corruption allegations revolving around Delhi's now-scrapped liquor policy. The party brought "Buy 1 Get 1" offers on liquor bottles.&nbsp;
The BJP accused the Kejriwal government of "turning Delhi into a city of drunkards".&nbsp;
The AAP consistently denied any allegation in the liquor policy, which was scrapped less than a year after it was implemented.&nbsp;
