New Delhi, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday said the results of the Lok Sabha elections show that the people of the national capital are looking for an alternative for the assembly elections to be held next year.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which won all seven seats in Delhi in the 2014 and 2019 general elections, won the city for the third consecutive time on Tuesday.

"Our opponents used to say that vote division paved the way for BJP's victory in the Lok Sabha elections, but this time despite the alliance, both AAP and Congress lost," Sachdeva said at a press conference.

The Delhi BJP president said the Lok Sabha election results also showed that the people of Delhi have rejected the corruption of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and are looking for an alternative in the 2025 assembly elections.

“That option is the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he said.''He said that the double engine government at the Center and in Delhi will make the national capital a world class city.

Sachdeva claimed that in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has an edge over the AAP-Congress alliance candidates in 52 of the 70 assembly constituencies spread across seven parliamentary constituencies of Delhi.

He said the BJP has been out of power in Delhi since 1998 and there is a large section of people in the city who have not experienced a BJP-led government.

The BJP leader said, the people of Delhi gave a chance to Congress for 15 years and then gave a chance to AAP in the last 10 years, but now they are looking for alternatives.

He said that BJP will provide better facilities to the people of the national capital and will also make the city better.He said that the most pleasing experience for the BJP in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections was that the party got more votes in nine out of the 12 assembly constituencies reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates in Delhi under various parliamentary constituencies.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP registered massive victories in the 2015 and 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, restricting the BJP to three and eight seats respectively.

There are 70 assembly constituencies in Delhi, including 13 SC reserved and seven Lok Sabha constituencies. There are 10 assembly seats in each parliamentary constituency.
