Ex-CM Arvind Kejriwal is an ex-MLA now: BJYM on poll loss
The dust has finally settled on the Delhi Assembly elections, and the results are out. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged victorious, winning 40 out of 70 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has managed to secure 18 seats. The defeat has been particularly stinging for AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, who not only lost the election but also lost his seat to BJP leader Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma by a margin of over 4,000 votes.
In response to Kejriwal’s defeat, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the BJP, took to social media to declare, “Ex-CM Arvind Kejriwal is an ex-MLA now.” The tweet was accompanied by a hashtag #KejriwalKaKhoonKharaba, which translates to “Kejriwal’s blood has been spilled” in Hindi.
The BJYM’s tweet was a clear indication of the glee with which the party is celebrating its victory. The tweet also served as a subtle jab at Kejriwal, who had been touting his party’s chances of winning the election in the run-up to the polls.
Kejriwal’s defeat marks a significant decline in AAP’s fortunes in the city. The party had won a landslide victory in the 2015 Delhi Assembly elections, winning 67 out of 70 seats. However, since then, AAP’s popularity has been on the decline, with the party facing criticism over its handling of issues such as corruption, law and order, and education.
The BJP, on the other hand, has been making steady gains in the city. The party had won 32 seats in the 2015 elections, but has now more than doubled that number. The party’s victory is seen as a significant boost to its prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Kejriwal’s defeat is also seen as a personal setback for the AAP chief. He had been at the helm of the party since its inception in 2012 and had been instrumental in its rise to power. His defeat marks the end of an era for AAP, and it remains to be seen how the party will recover from this setback.
In a statement, Kejriwal accepted defeat and congratulated the BJP on its victory. He also announced that he would continue to serve the people of Delhi, even if it meant doing so from outside the Assembly.
The defeat of AAP is also seen as a significant victory for BJP’s campaign strategy, which focused on issues such as nationalism, Hindutva, and development. The party had also made significant gains among the youth and women voters, who had been traditionally seen as AAP’s strongholds.
The results of the Delhi Assembly elections are also seen as a significant blow to Kejriwal’s reputation as a leader. He had been at the forefront of several anti-corruption campaigns and had made a name for himself as a champion of the common man. However, his defeat has raised questions about his ability to deliver on his promises and his leadership skills.
In conclusion, the defeat of AAP and Kejriwal in the Delhi Assembly elections marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the city. While the BJP’s victory is a significant achievement, it is also a reminder that politics is a game of ups and downs, and no party can claim to be invincible.
