The BJP secured a massive mandate, winning 12 seats and leading in 38, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won 10 and was leading in another 10. The Congress, once again, failed to open its account.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa called it a "historic victory" for the BJP in Delhi after 27 years on X. "This resounding win is a symbol of unwavering public trust in PM Modi Ji’s leadership and commitment to good governance. Delhi has reaffirmed its faith in BJP, just as it did in the Lok Sabha elections," he said, praising party workers for their tireless efforts.

JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, whose party is now part of the NDA, echoed similar sentiments. "The people of India have once again chosen Viksit Bharat, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and development-driven governance over appeasement politics. This mandate reaffirms trust in strong leadership, economic growth, and national security," he said.

Senior BJP leader R. Ashoka lauded the party’s performance and took a dig at the Congress. "The BJP has achieved a historic victory in Delhi. After setbacks in Haryana and Maharashtra, Congress has once again failed to make an impact, showing that the people of the country have completely rejected it," he said.
