The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who has achieved another achievement by winning 48 of the 70 assembly seats to the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections.
The party has managed to set foot among the Dalit voters of Delhi – writing six out of 16 seats, where the Scheduled Castes (SC) community has an important population. According to the Dalits 2011 census, Delhi is 16.5 percent of the population, which is the second largest polling block after the upper castes taken as an integrated category.
Dalits in Delhi have traditionally drawn their weight behind the Congress (1993-2008) and then the AAM Aadmi Party (2013 to 2020) as far as the assembly elections are concerned. Even when the BJP won Delhi in 1993, it lost Dalit concentration seats like Sultanpur Majra, Mangolpuri, Trilokpuri and Ambedkar Nagar.
However, this election, along with tall Dalit leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Congress has faced a pole dhabbing.
For example, AAP candidate Rakhi Birla – A sitting MLA from Mongol Puri lost to BJP candidate Kailash Gangwal by a margin of about 10,900 votes from Madipur constituency. Similarly, senior Congress leader Rajesh Lilothia lost to Seema Puri and secured only third position. However, Dushyat Gautam of BJP in Karol Bagh was defeated by AAP MLA Vishesh Ravi.
