BJP Eyes Comeback In Delhi After 27 Years, Here’s The Full List Of Candidates: Delhi Assembly Election 2025

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched an aggressive campaign to wrest power from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi after a nearly three-decade drought. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi as its face, the BJP aims to break AAP’s dominance and reclaim the capital in the upcoming Assembly elections scheduled for February 5.

BJP’s Push for Victory

Having faced back-to-back defeats in 2015 and 2020, the BJP is going all out to counter the AAP, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. While the BJP has been in power at the Centre since 2014, it has struggled to make significant inroads in Delhi, where AAP has secured consecutive landslide victories.

To bolster its chances, the BJP is fielding high-profile candidates and prioritizing caste and regional equations. So far, the party has announced 59 candidates for the 70-member Assembly, with a mix of seasoned politicians and fresh faces.
