Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday appointed Odisha's Kendrapada MP Baijayant Panda as the party election in-charge for the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections and Ghaziabad MP Atul Garg as the co-incharge.

Panda, a Lok Sabha MP from Odisha, had earlier held organisational responsibilities for Delhi. His appointment as the poll in-charge will help the BJP draw from his understanding of the party's dynamics in the national capital.

What happened in 2020 polls?

In the 2020 elections, Congress could not win a single seat in the Delhi assembly polls, while AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats, and BJP secured eighth seats in the last assembly polls. 

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not been in power in the capital since 1998 and is making strong efforts to inflict a political defeat on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a fierce critic of the saffron party under whom the AAP has become a national party.
