Vote counting started early Saturday in the high-stakes state legislature election in India’s federal territory, including New Delhi.

Delhi Assembly elections saw a decisive shift in women's votes towards BJP, influenced by PM Modi's policies and trust over Kejriwal's promises.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading in 41 seats in the 70-member legislative assembly, while the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead in 28 seats, according to data released so far by the Election Commission of India (EC).

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party is expected to win 48 of the 70-member legislative assembly, where it was leading, according to the Election Commission of India’s website. BJP is reclaiming Delhi after almost three decades.

The Congress states that the Delhi Assembly elections were a referendum on Arvind Kejriwal and AAP rather than a validation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies. They commit to forming a government in Delhi by 2030 and emphasize the importance of their efforts despite the defeat.

BJP's victory in Delhi ended AAP's decade-long rule with key AAP leaders including Arvind Kejriwal humbled by the voters. Watch in for more details!
