For the 2020 election, Kejriwal’s ‘guarantee card’ had a specific impetus on unauthorised colonies or jhuggi jhopri (JJ) colonies. He promised facilities like drinking water, sanitation, roads and infrastructure, mohalla clinics and CCTV cameras - once they are legalised. His promise to citizens living in authorised colonies is pitched against the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) recent bill that plans to regularise over 1,700 slums and build over 2 lakh homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY). In addition, BJP candidate Manoj Tiwari has also been making the headlines for ‘silently’ working towards helping people in these communities. Out of Delhi’s 70 assembly segments, slum-dwellers hold the decisive vote in nearly 28, according to a senior BJP leader. During the last Delhi Election in 2015, AAP was able to garner 95% of those votes — not to mention winning 67 of the 70 seats.

The leading BJP candidates from different constituencies include Surinder Pal Singh from Timarpur, Azad Singh from Mundka, and Rekha Gupta from Shalimar Bagh.

Trends visible from the counting of postal ballots in the much-awaited Delhi election result show that Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party was leading in 33 seats compared to BJP's ten. At 8:20 am, only postal ballots would be counted and the counting votes from electronic voting machines are yet to begin.

The ruling BJP has shown the highest income amongst the political parties at Rs 2,410.08 crore during financial year 2018-19, which forms 65.16% of the total income of six national parties put together.

BJP leaders have claimed that the results of the Delhi Assembly elections that will be announced on Tuesday will take everyone by surprise as "the saffron party is all set to stake claim to power with a resounding majority", the IANS reported. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asserts that the sudden increase in the polling percentage on Saturday is a "good sign", the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expressed doubts about EVM "manipulations". The Election Commission, however, stated clearly that all electronic voting machines (EVMs) are beyond any "cloud of doubt".

In the last five years, the Delhi government passed 44 bills but none of them were none of them were related to the environment, according to a report by Association for Democractic Reforms (ADR) that analysed the performance of MLAs between 2015 and 2020. Pollution levels in Delhi peaked to a three-year high on November 3, 2019 — a few days after Diwali — notwithstanding claims of heightened checks and curbs by authorities. Kejriwal himself called Delhi a "gas chamber" and blamed stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab for the apocalyptic haze. In May 2018, the Delhi government presented a ‘green budget’ that aimed to fight pollution. The Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia announced 26 programmes and schemes of transport, power, environment and PWD in order to create a unified system for pollution control. However, the results have been negligible so far.

There are over 81 lakh male voters, 66.80 lakh female voters, and 869 third-gender voters, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ranbir Singh said earlier.

One of the reasons why BJP made former Bhojpuri singing sensation Manoj Tiwari as its state campaign chief. Similarly, Congress too tied up with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which has its home in Bihar, for the polls.

Aged 111, she came to a polling station in CR Park along with her son, grandson and other family members. She flashed her inked wrinkled finger to photographers after voting. “I am happy to vote in this election. I don't remember how many elections I have taken part in, but as a responsible citizen, we must vote. I urge other citizens to also come out and vote," Mandal reportedly said.

The 2020 assembly election in Delhi saw a fall in voter turnout at 62.59% compared to over 67% five years ago. Early trends indicated an even sharper fall but there was a surge in the last couple of hours. The recent opinion polls showing a decisive victory for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by incumbent Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, may be a factor keeping people away from the polling booths. However, the change in turnout can be a factor in determining the lead for the winning party.

As per various exit polls, AAP will win 48-61 of the total 70 seats. BJP however is expected to bag around 11-17 seats. None of the polls expect Congress to win more than two seats though C-voter believes that the party could win anywhere between 0-4 seats.

Election Commission seized cash and others worth ₹57 crore during Delhi assembly elections. This is around twice of what was seized during the Lok Sabha elections in 2019, around ₹34 crore.

The vote share of Indian National Congress (INC), which has been the dominant political party in India for decades, is expected to fall to single digits in the recently concluded Delhi assembly election. Data shows that in states where it’s a two-way fight between BJP and Congress, BJP has an advantage. In states where it’s a 3-way fight, Congress ends up on the losing side yet again unless it ties up with a regional party. This data will reduce Congress’ bargaining power in upcoming crucial elections in states like Bihar, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu.

The Election Commission finally declared the voter turnout for Delhi assembly elections late Sunday – at 62.59%. It is lower than the 2015 turnout which was 67.13%. “There has been a delay. Polling continued till late Saturday evening and then the machines kept coming into the reception centre till late night. They were then sealed inside the strong room. All our officers were busy working through the night, from morning 11 am we started the scrutiny,” Delhi chief electoral officer, Dr. Ranbir Singh told the media. But the delay in voter turnout final numbers had led to endless speculation.

Many times, the Saffron party tried to steer the conversation away from development towards issues of nationalism. It brought issues like the Shaheen Bagh protests and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) into the spotlight to sway voters. AAP, while addressing the issues, kept their response measured and focussed on what the party has delivered in the last five years. AAP’s election strategy has a lesson for political parties in power in different states across the country on how to deal with BJP’s offensive.
