The Morning Standard
|June 05, 2024
THE vote share of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi declined by 2% in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, yet, it continued to hold its fort strongly in all the seven constituencies.
The vote share of AAP and Congress stood at 24.71 % and 18.91 %, respectively. As both of them were partners in INDIA bloc, their collective vote share was 43.08 %, at least 10% less than BJP's 54.35 %. In the 2019 polls, the saffron vote share was 56.86%.
In the last general elections, AAP and Congress fought separately as rivals. Compared to their vote share in current elections, AAP and Congress stood at 40.62 % which means their vote share increased by at least 3 per cent, yet, they lost on all 7 seats.
