Why AAP-ruled Delhi gives all Lok Sabha seats to BJP?

In the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, let us ponder over the electoral mood of the national capital’s voters. The Emerging World’s analysis of all the recently held pre-poll surveys suggests all seven Delhi seats would go to the BJP if elections were held today. Now the question arises, Why do Delhi seats go to the BJP despite the AAP winning the Assembly polls decisively? Why does a state that has overwhelmingly voted for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in two consecutive Assembly polls give all the Lok Sabha seats to the BJP? Experts say there are several factors at play.


The AAP made its debut in the 2013 Delhi election and managed to get 28 of the 70 Assembly seats. It formed a government in alliance with the Congress that didn’t last a full five-year term. In the elections of 2015 and 2020, the AAP won 67 and 62 seats, respectively.
The BJP, however, won all the seven Lok Sabha seats of Delhi in both 2014 and 2019. Despite a would-be Congress-AAP alliance, the pre-poll surveys show the BJP getting 57% of the vote share in Delhi. The AAP-Congress coalition if materializes, which would fare well in Punjab, fails to dent the BJP’s seats in Delhi.


“Punjab’s demographic composition is different from Delhi’s. It has always had an uneasy relationship with the Centre, even when the Congress party was in power in the 1970s and 80s,” Piyush Gautam, a poll analyst said. “This alliance [between the Congress and the AAP] in both Delhi and Punjab is not easy. Because in Punjab, AAP feels that they can gain these seats even without the Congress. So, you have seen the CM of Punjab making statements that we don’t need to have an alliance. And in Delhi, even if they come together, they will not be able to make any dent,” adds Gautam.


Why do two states give such different results with the same combination? One of the factors is different voting patterns in Assembly and parliamentary elections. “It’s a split vote, and it’s happening across India, across all the states. Every state, if you look into the vote share of the last assembly and the last Lok Sabha, you will see somewhere between 10% to 25% jump in favor of the BJP in Lok Sabha elections,” said Satyendra Singh, a political commentator.


There is an additional factor at work in Delhi that swings votes in favor of AAP in Assembly polls but doesn’t work for it in the Lok Sabha polls, according to political analyst Ramendra Dwivedi. “Delhi’s story is very simple. It is due to the Muslim vote that swings. In Assembly elections, Muslim votes tend to favor Arvind Kejriwal’s party, and in the Lok Sabha elections, they favor the Congress. So that is why there is a kind of mismatch,” Dwivedi said. Going by that logic, the seats of Chandni Chowk or East Delhi, where the minorities are in big numbers, could be foul areas of the Congress and the AAP. They can come together and put up a tough fight for the BJP.


However, what needs to be kept in mind is that the minority factor comes into play in Assembly elections because Assembly constituencies are smaller, and the numbers are enough to decide the fate of the seats. That isn’t the case in the Lok Sabha polls. Experts say that after the delimitation process of 2008, the entire composition of the Delhi seats has changed. In Delhi, there is not even a single Lok Sabha seat now that can be decided by voters of the minority community, according to the experts on The Emerging World.


Apart from that, the Modi factor plays an important role in the Lok Sabha election in Delhi like it does in most other places. That helps in the consolidation of votes for the BJP. The other reason could be that the people of Delhi still see the AAP as a regional party despite its efforts to grow in several states. So, multiple factors make Delhi seats go to the Aam Aadmi Party in Assembly polls but to the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. That would even be the case if the 2024 Lok Sabha polls were held today or later on.


Another renowned political analyst Jeev Kant Jha said,’ Whether it will be a triangular fight or a direct contest with a single I.N.D.I.A candidate in each Lok Sabha seat in Delhi, the BJP is confident of maintaining its dominance over all seven Lok Sabha constituencies in the national capital for the third consecutive time.’ The party’s eagerness to maintain a 7-0 track record stems from its recent Assembly election victories and the discordant signals emerging from the rival I.N.D.I.A bloc on seat-sharing.

The AAP and the Congress are still determining the seats on which they will fight against the BJP, meaning that only one opposition candidate will face each BJP candidate. However, the buzz is that the AAP wants the Congress to fight on only two seats, while the Congress is keen on contesting at least three. If the seat-sharing talks fail, the two may be forced to go it alone on all seven seats.
BJP national vice president and Delhi unit in charge Baijayant Panda said that the BJP’s win in the recent assembly elections in Hindi heartland states has created a positive atmosphere for the party, and there should be no doubts about the results of the Lok Sabha elections.


“We are winning all seven seats in Delhi, but we will have to make efforts to increase the victory margin, for which we will have to contact the beneficiaries of the Central government schemes and talk to them,” said Panda. A source inside the I.N.D.I.A bloc said, “The contrast seen between the alliances in the recent elections raises many questions about whether it will continue till the Lok Sabha election or not.”
Psephologist Sanjay Dubey said that there is constant friction within the opposition alliance and the people who make decision for the I.N.D.I.A bloc has to take control of the alliance. Dubey added, “If they are agreeing upon it, then there should be further concrete steps. If there is a cricket team and there is no captain, who will give direction to the team?”

Central government had encroached into ones private space, therefore the Supreme Court should take suo moto cognizance of this matter and order a judicial inquiry, he said, adding that there is talk of investigation of such immoral acts in other countries as well.

He said that this espionage work is possible only at the behest of the Prime Minister. The BJP-led central government, finding itself weak is engaged in spying on the opponents he said, adding that it was through this that work was done to break the governments in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh whereas the Israeli government clearly says that it can be used only and only by the government to curb terrorist and criminal activities.

Where Should Children with Autism Go? A Cry for Attention

EW News Ranchi : The number of children with autism in Jharkhand is steadily increasing, yet the state government seems to be turning a blind eye to this growing issue. Despite the rise in cases, there is no active intervention or support from the government or social organizations. Health experts believe that while autism cannot be completely cured, early diagnosis and consistent support can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that impacts social interaction, communication, and behavior. Autism is not a disease, but a condition requiring understanding and support. Unfortunately, Jharkhand lacks a long-term strategy for addressing the needs of autistic children. Experts suggest that the government must prioritize identifying children with autism across all districts and empowering their parents, especially mothers, to become self-reliant.

Challenges Faced by Parents: Parents of children with autism face immense difficulties. A recent survey by The Emerging World revealed the plight of such families. Most schools deny admission to autistic children, citing the absence of guidelines or resources. The central government has not issued mandatory directives for employing special educators in schools, leaving autistic children without access to proper education or care. Similarly, the state government has failed to implement any policies addressing this issue. Need for Government Intervention The government must take urgent steps, including:
Identifying and Listing: Creating a comprehensive database of children with autism in the state. Training Specialists: Employing skilled professionals to provide regular monitoring and therapy.
Support for Mothers: Including mothers of autistic children in all welfare schemes without discrimination.

Specialized Education: Mandating schools to hire special educators and making education accessible to autistic children.
Awareness Programs: Educating the public about autism to eliminate stigma and create a supportive environment. A Question of Humanity The silence from both government and social organizations raises a critical question: where will these children go? Autism is not merely a medical condition, it is a challenge that requires collective efforts from society and authorities alike. The lack of action reflects a deeper apathy towards those who need our support the most. It is high time that the state health ministry takes responsibility and ensures that every child with autism receives the care and support they deserve. Without intervention, the question remains—will humanity rise to this challenge, or will these children continue to be ignored?

India in 2025: A Year of Transformation and Challenges

As India steps into 2025, it does so with a blend of optimism and responsibility, standing as a beacon of stability in a world fraught with uncertainty. The global backdrop is one of persistent crises, marked by two ongoing wars, worsening climate change, and economic turmoil that is fueling social unrest. In this challenging environment, India’s ability to chart a path of safety, stability, and progress is both a testament to its resilience and a call to address complex internal challenges.

After successfully hosting the largest democratic exercise in 2024, India is poised for a transformative year, one that will likely shape its future trajectory. With the potential commencement of the long-delayed decennial census and major political and legislative changes on the horizon, 2025 could be a turning point in India’s sociopolitical and economic journey.

The Decennial Census

The decennial census, a cornerstone of governance and policymaking, has been delayed since 2021. Its expected launch in 2025 will mark a critical moment for India, providing updated demographic data essential for planning and resource allocation. This exercise, one of the most comprehensive in the world, will also officially confirm India’s position as the most populous nation, a title it unofficially achieved in 2023.

Being the world’s most populous country is more than a symbolic milestone; it is a responsibility that demands nuanced and forward-thinking policymaking. A population of over 1.4 billion presents both opportunities and challenges. For policymakers, key priorities will include addressing the needs of an aging population, creating employment for the burgeoning youth demographic, and managing social tensions arising from competition over limited resources.

One of the most contentious debates surrounding the census is whether it will include caste data. Since Independence, caste enumeration has been avoided in the national census, though caste remains a deeply entrenched social structure in India. Advocates for including caste data argue that it could provide a clearer picture of socioeconomic disparities and enable more targeted affirmative action policies. Critics, however, fear it could deepen societal divisions and fuel identity politics. The government’s decision on this issue will have far-reaching implications, potentially reshaping social justice programs and electoral dynamics.

The census will likely serve as a precursor to significant political and legislative shifts. The most immediate impact will be on the delimitation of parliamentary constituencies, scheduled for 2026. This exercise, which adjusts the boundaries and representation of Lok Sabha seats based on updated population data, is expected to reflect India’s demographic realities more accurately.

Delimitation will likely result in increased representation for northern states, where population growth has been higher, while reducing seats for southern states that have successfully implemented population control measures. This potential imbalance could exacerbate regional tensions and require careful negotiation to ensure equitable representation. Addressing this issue will test the political leadership’s ability to balance regional aspirations with national interests.

Another transformative change on the horizon is the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act. Passed in 2023, this landmark legislation mandates a one-third reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. While this promises to enhance gender representation in Indian politics, its implementation will require meticulous planning and consensus-building. Ensuring that this historic reform is carried out smoothly will be a test of political sagacity and statesmanship.

Pressures of Population Growth

As India embraces its status as the most populous nation, the challenges of managing its demographic realities will come into sharper focus. Elderly care is emerging as a critical issue, with the proportion of senior citizens in the population steadily rising. India will need to expand healthcare services, create age-friendly infrastructure, and develop social security systems to support this vulnerable demographic.

At the same time, India’s youth population, one of its greatest assets, must be harnessed effectively. With over half the population under 30, the country has a unique demographic advantage that can drive economic growth. However, realizing this potential will require creating millions of jobs, fostering entrepreneurship, and aligning educational curricula with the demands of a rapidly evolving economy.

Unemployment and underemployment remain pressing concerns, particularly in the context of growing automation and global economic uncertainties. Policymakers must focus on promoting skill development, expanding industrial growth, and incentivizing sectors like technology, manufacturing, and renewable energy to create sustainable employment opportunities.

Economic Disparities and Migration

India’s economic development has been uneven, with significant disparities between states and regions. This imbalance has fueled internal migration, often leading to tensions in destination states. Protectionist policies and nativist sentiments, which prioritize locals over migrants in jobs and resources, are becoming more pronounced, posing a threat to national unity.

To address these challenges, the government must prioritize inclusive growth by investing in underdeveloped regions. Expanding infrastructure, improving access to education and healthcare, and fostering local industries can help reduce migration pressures and ensure more equitable development.

Climate Change

Climate change remains one of the most pressing challenges for India, a country highly vulnerable to its impacts. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and an increasing frequency of extreme weather events are already disrupting lives and livelihoods, particularly for marginalized communities.

In 2025, India must accelerate its transition to renewable energy and enhance climate-resilient infrastructure. The country has made significant progress in expanding solar and wind energy, but more needs to be done to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2070. Policymakers must also focus on promoting sustainable agricultural practices, conserving water resources, and enhancing disaster preparedness.

Amid global instability, India’s position as a stable democracy and growing economy gives it a unique opportunity to play a leadership role. In 2023, India demonstrated its capacity for global leadership during its G20 presidency, shaping discussions on trade, climate action, and geopolitical stability.

In 2025, India must continue to leverage its strengths to influence international agendas. As a major voice in the Global South, India can advocate for equitable climate finance, fair trade practices, and greater representation in global institutions. Strengthening ties with key partners while maintaining strategic autonomy will be essential in navigating a rapidly changing world order.

A Test of Leadership and Statesmanship

The transformative changes and challenges of 2025 will require exceptional leadership and statesmanship from India’s political class. Decisions made this year will have long-term implications for the nation’s future, from addressing demographic challenges to ensuring social cohesion and economic growth.

Wide public consultations, transparent policymaking, and a commitment to inclusivity will be crucial. Policymakers must resist the temptation to prioritize short-term political gains over long-term national interests.

As 2025 unfolds, India stands at a crossroads, poised to address monumental challenges while seizing opportunities to strengthen its position as a global leader. The decennial census, likely to kick off this year, will provide critical data that will shape policies for years to come. Major shifts, such as delimitation and the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act, promise to redefine the nation’s sociopolitical landscape.

India’s ability to manage its demographic pressures, promote inclusive growth, combat climate change, and navigate regional and global challenges will determine its trajectory in the years ahead. The nation’s resilience, ingenuity, and commitment to democratic values provide a strong foundation for tackling these issues.

In a world grappling with uncertainty, India’s journey in 2025 offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the potential of visionary leadership and collective action. This year will not only shape the nation’s future but also reaffirm its role as a model of stability, progress, and inclusivity in a tumultuous world.
