Leaving behind several senior leaders of BJP and Congress, Arvind Kejriwal has once again shown the power of Aam Admi by having won the Delhi 2015 elections. There was a tough competition between BJP Chief Ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal, the latter being given the Krishna Nagar constituency which she eventually lost. The seat has originally been a bastion of BJP and RSS and was considered the safest bet for a novice politician like her. AAP has won with a thumping majority of 65 seats leaving only 3 seats to BJP and none to Congress.
Out of the other BJP top brass that lost out to AAP were Jagdish Mukhi from Janakpuri who contested against his son in-law. The seat was won by Rajesh Rishi from AAP. Vikram Biduri from Tughlakabad and Rambir Singh Biduri from Badarpur were the other major losers, the latter from a seat which he has reportedly never lost till today.
In the Congress camp, most of those who were routed were politicians who have never lost assembly elections. These included Chaudhary Mateen Ahmed from Seelampur, Prahlad Singh Sawhney from Chandi Chowk, Haroon Yusuf from Ballimaran and Shoaib Iqbal from Okhla. All these seats were won by AAP.
