Published Paper Details:

The overwhelming victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with 62 seats out of 70 in Delhi Assembly polls did not surprise the nation as all exit polls had already pointed to the absolute majority mark. People proved their maturity by casting votes for continuing the AAP Government sidelining the national and emotional assurances promised by the BJP, as good governance of the Delhi Government remained intact among the people. Though, the BJP did not omit any opportunity to portray the AAP as insensitive and insensible towards national security and sovereignty by setting it up as a supporter of the Tukde-Tukde gang. The verdict of the Delhi Assembly elections 2020 could be viewed as a foundation-stone for projecting secular and issue-based politics as the thumping victory of the AAP. AAP won on its governance record, but its tactics do not undermine the BJP�s politics. Hence, this study attempts to analyze the character and sense of the election campaign and how the AAP romped home victorious. The study further deciphering the BJP loss and the message from the Delhi assembly conveys to the political parties.
