Greater Kailash Assembly Election Results 2025: In a dramatic turn of events in the Delhi Assembly elections, BJP’s Shikha Roy has emerged victorious in the Greater Kailash constituency, defeating AAP’s two-time MLA, Saurabh Bharadwaj.

The Congress candidate, Garvit Singhvi, received 6,711 votes, failing to make a significant impact in the contest.
The Greater Kailash seat, which has been a stronghold for Saurabh Bharadwaj as a two-time MLA, saw fierce competition this year, with Roy leading a strong challenge for the BJP. Bharadwaj, who was aiming for a third consecutive term, had previously established a solid rapport with voters in the constituency. However, this time, Roy managed to claim the seat back for the BJP, marking a major shift in the political landscape of the area.
The final tally came after a long and intense counting process that began at 8 AM, alongside the votes for the 69 other constituencies in Delhi. The race in Greater Kailash was one of the most closely watched, with key parties — AAP, BJP, and Congress — all vying for influence in the area.
Shikha Roy’s victory has been celebrated by BJP supporters, who are now looking ahead to the formation of a new government in Delhi, following their strong showing across many constituencies.
Saurabh Bharadwaj, meanwhile, faced a tough challenge in holding onto his seat amidst rising competition and shifting voter sentiments. His defeat marks a setback for AAP, which had hoped to continue its dominance in Delhi with a third consecutive term.
