Patparganj Assembly Election Result 2025: In a major setback, the Aam Aadmi Party has been defeated by the Bhartiya Janata Party in the Delhi Assembly election. The BJP has made a comeback after 27 years in the national capital by ending the ten years rule of the AAP . Several of the AAP's stalwarts, including party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, ex-Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and Saurabh Bhardwaj lost their respective seats.
However, one of the most discussed constituencies in the election was Patparganj. Earlier held by Sisodia, the incumbent AAP had fielded UPSC tutor and motivational speaker Avadh Ojha from the seat. The BJP had given ticket to Ravinder Singh Negi, hyped local leader.
Ravinder Singh Negi managed to defeat Avadh Ojha in the polls by over 28,000 vote margin. While conceeding the defeat, Ojha said that it was his personal loss and the party had nothing to do with it. He added that he could not establish a connection with people in such a short span of time. He emphasised that he will continue to work for the people and would make a comeback.
The Patparganj seat was previously held by the ex-Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia; however, he contested from the Jangpura constituency this time. While the AAP narrowly managed to win from Patparganj in the 2020 legislative polls, the saffron party managed to win this time.
