Setback for AAP in Delhi

After a huge setback in Delhi , Aravind Kejriwal is now willing to work together with Narendra Modi accepting the mandate of people. In Delhi the real losers are AAP.  When BJP increased its vote share 10% ( 46.63 to 56.60) in terms of 2014 vote share and congress bounced back with 15.22 % to 22.43 %  registering an increase of 7.21%,  AAP dropped 14.93%,  having a dip from 33.08 % to 18.15 %. As per report, three AAP candidates are likely to lose deposit.

Even though the pre-poll arithmetic suggested AAP-Congress alliance would defeat BJP, post poll data proved other wise. Its atleast less than five percentage of the BJP in each seat. The alliance in west together got only 37.38% while BJP got 60.06. How ever, the impact of real alliance would have different.

After the sweep, BJP eyes Delhi assembly by utilizing the momentum. Party workers had been instructed to focus on AAP vote bank (slums and unauthorized colonies) cementing booth level activities and sensitizing people about the huge benefits of same government both at centre and state to counter AAP statehood plank and unfulfilled promises of AAP.

At the same time, some independent observers foresee the possibility of of imminent clashes between governments and aubsequent suspension of Delhi Govt to expedite the transition. The impact of Modi, revival of congress and challenges to deliver key promises, AAP awaits struggling times ahead.
