Divya Delhi: Is the middle class's dissatisfaction with the 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections a reflection of the fact that all the parties were too busy courting the poor to pay attention to them? Was it a mistake for Arvind Kejriwal to declare his intention to run alone in the Delhi Elections when negotiations between his party and the other were ongoing? The 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections might mark a turning point in national and even global politics.As the opposition dubbed her, Atishi bore the pain of being chief minister while Kejriwal and Sisodia were taken to jail for their alleged involvement in the notorious Delhi liquor case. All eyes were on the middle class because it is a crucial demographic in the Delhi Elections, making up over 45% of the electorates.Meeting in nearly every constituency, the BJP was an early mover in reaching out to this group.They met in drawing rooms for hundreds of hours and in constituencies for over a hundred open gatherings.To win over middle-class voters, the saffron party also utilized the RSS and its offshoots, such as the traders' body and the shopkeepers' organizations.The BJP's primary goal was to undermine the AAP by arguing that they were anti-development.
