On February 8, 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), achieved significant electoral success, regaining majority control in New Delhi's Legislative Assembly. The BJP secured over 40 of the 70 seats, marking its first majority since 1998. Opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal conceded defeat, congratulating BJP for their win. Modi and other BJP leaders framed the victory as a testament to people's faith in Modi’s development agenda, despite previous controversies involving Kejriwal's anti-corruption efforts and his recent arrest, labeled as election interference.
"Development wins, good governance triumphs," Modi said in a post on X. "I bow to my dear sisters and brothers of Delhi for this resounding and historic mandate to @BJP4India."
Amit Shah called the win a "sign of the people's faith in Prime Minister Modi's vision of progress."
Kejriwal congratulates BJP saying, "We accept the verdict and congratulate the BJP," showcasing his acceptance of the electoral defeat.
Kejriwal's arrest, labeled as election interference, raised concerns about the state of democracy in India, prompting reactions from the German government.
