In a dramatic turn of events in Delhi's New Delhi constituency, BJP's Parvesh Verma emerged victorious, defeating AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal by 4,089 votes. The contest saw Congress candidate Sandeep Dikshit, son of former CM Sheila Dikshit, playing a crucial role in splitting votes, reminiscent of the iconic "sabka badla lega" dialogue from "Gangs of Wasseypur", referring to Modi. While Dikshit lost the election, his campaign significantly impacted Kejriwal's vote share, helping Verma secure the win. This outcome marks a significant shift from AAP's previous dominance, with BJP now winning 38 seats and leading in 10, while AAP has secured 17 seats and leads in 5. Verma, son of former Delhi CM Sahib Singh Verma, is now seen as a potential Chief Ministerial candidate for the BJP.
