Which party won how many seats in Delhi Assembly polls in 2015 & 2020?
The Delhi Assembly polls have been a significant event in the political landscape of India. The 2020 Delhi Assembly election was the latest in the series, which saw the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerge as the clear winner. But how did the results shape up in the previous election in 2015? In this blog post, we will delve into the details of the results of both elections and analyze the outcome.
Delhi Assembly Polls 2015:
The Delhi Assembly polls 2015 were held on February 7, 2015. The polls saw a three-cornered contest between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Indian National Congress (INC). The results were declared on February 10, 2015.
The AAP won a landslide victory, winning 67 out of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. The BJP managed to win only 3 seats, while the INC drew a blank. The AAP’s victory was a significant upset, given that the party had only been formed a few years ago and was relatively new to politics.
The AAP’s victory was attributed to its promise of providing freebies such as free electricity and water to the residents of Delhi. The party’s leader, Arvind Kejriwal, was able to connect with the common man and his party’s anti-corruption plank resonated with the voters.

The results were declared on February 11, 2020. The AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly, while the BJP won 8 seats. The INC failed to win a single seat, drawing a blank.
The AAP’s victory in the 2020 polls was attributed to its promise of providing free healthcare services to the residents of Delhi. The party’s leader, Arvind Kejriwal, was able to build on the momentum of his party’s previous victory and connect with the voters once again.
Comparison of Results:
A comparison of the results of the 2015 and 2020 Delhi Assembly polls reveals some interesting trends. In 2015, the AAP won 67 seats, while in 2020, it won 62 seats. The BJP’s performance, on the other hand, improved from 3 seats in 2015 to 8 seats in 2020. The INC failed to win a single seat in both elections, indicating a decline in its popularity in the state.

The party’s promise of providing freebies and its anti-corruption plank resonated with the voters in both elections.
