“...I guarantee that the CAG report will be presented in the first assembly session, whoever has looted will have to return it”, promised PM Modi. 

"These people of 'AAP-da' came into politics by saying that we will change politics, but these people turned out to be completely dishonest. Today I was listening to the statement of Anna Hazare ji. Anna Hazare ji has been bearing the pain of the misdeeds of these people for a long time. Today he too must have got relief from that pain. The party born out of the movement against corruption got involved in corruption. It became such a party of the country whose Chief Minister and Ministers went to jail on corruption charges. Those who used to give themselves certificates of honesty, turned out to be corrupt. This was a big betrayal with Delhi. The liquor scam defamed Delhi. The scams in schools and hospitals troubled the poorest of the poor and on top of that, their arrogance was so much that when the world was dealing with Corona, these people were building 'Sheesh Mahal'...", said PM Modi

"...Today again the people have given a message to Congress. Congress has hit a double hattrick of 'zero' in Delhi elections. The oldest party in the country is not able to get even one seat in the national capital for the last 6 times. They are giving the gold medal of defeat to themselves..."

On BJP's victory in Delhi Elections 2025, PM Narendra Modi said, "Wherever NDA has received the mandate, we have taken that state to new heights of development and that is why BJP is continuously winning. People are electing our governments for the second and third time... In the North-East, our governments have connected the people with a new stream of development. There was a time when there was a huge water crisis in Gujarat, farming was difficult, but today the same Gujarat has emerged as an agriculture powerhouse. Remember the condition of Bihar before Nitish ji. Nitish ji got an opportunity in Bihar, change also came only when the NDA government came. Similarly, Chandrababu Naidu has proved his track record in Andhra Pradesh. All these examples show that NDA means guarantee of development, NDA means guarantee of good governance."
 

 "...There is no such area in Delhi where the lotus did not bloom. People speaking every language have voted for BJP. During this election, wherever I went, I used to say proudly that I am an MP from Purvanchal. The people of Purvanchal have given love to this bond. Therefore, as the MP from Purvanchal, I thank the people of Purvanchal..."

 "The politics of protests, confrontation and administrative uncertainty in Delhi have caused great harm to the people of Delhi.  Today, all of you Delhiites have removed a major obstacle in the development of Delhi."

"Aaj desh tushtikaran nahi BJP ki santushtikaran ki policy ko chun raha hai'...Today, along with Delhi, the BJP has got victory in Ayodhya's Milkipur. Every section has voted for the BJP in large numbers...", said PM Modi. 
 

 “Dilli ke logo ne shortcut wali rajneeti ka short-circuit kar diya'. Today the people of Delhi have made it clear. The real owner of Delhi is only the people of Delhi. Those who thought of being the owners of Delhi have been confronted with the truth. This is also clear from the mandate of Delhi that there is no place for shortcuts, lies in politics. ‘Dilli ke logo ne shortcut vali rajneeti ka short-circuit kar diya”, said PM Modi. 
 

"...I was seeing that BJP workers across the country also had a pain in their hearts. It was about not being able to serve Delhi fully. But today Delhi has accepted our request too. The youth born in the 21st century will now see BJP's good governance in Delhi for the first time. Today's results show how much trust the country has in BJP's double-engine government. After that victory in the Lok Sabha elections, we first made an unprecedented record in Haryana, then made a new record in Maharashtra. Now a new history has been created in Delhi."
 

Launching a scathing attack on Kejriwal, PM Modi said, "Today the people of Delhi have made it clear. The real owner of Delhi is only the people of Delhi. Those who thought of being the owners of Delhi have been confronted with the truth. This is also clear from the mandate of Delhi that there is no place for shortcuts, lies in politics. The people have ended the era of shortcut politics." In 2017, Kejriwal had made a strong remarks by accusing the Delhi Lieutenant Governor of overstepping his authority—likening his actions to those of a "Viceroy" meddling in the affairs of an elected government without any legal right. He also recalled his earlier declaration of being "Dilli Ke Maalik" (the true owner of Delhi) and argued that if a proposal has already been approved by the Chief Minister and the Education Minister, then the LG has no grounds to object.

 

“The people of Delhi have never disappointed me in the Lok Sabha elections. In the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, 2019 and 2024, the people of Delhi have made BJP victorious in all 7 seats”, PM Modi said.

PM Modi begins his victory speech with 'Yamuna Maiya Ki Jai,' a sharp jibe at Kejriwal over Yamuna poisoning row. 

"There was a time when was a time when politics was about giving attractive speeches to the people and making promises and then forgetting them later. Prime Minister Modi brought a change in the politics of India and gave birth to the politics of report cards and what was said was done, what was not said was also done...Modi's guarantee is a guarantee that the guarantee will be fulfilled."
 

Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda says, "In the Lok Sabha, the people of Delhi made BJP win all 7 seats and in this assembly election you made us win 48 seats, the message is clear - 'Delhi ke Dil mein Modi hain'..."

Most exit polls on the Delhi assembly elections hit close to home as the BJP marched ahead with an insuperable lead over the ruling AAP in the national capital.

According to the Election Commission trends, by 3 pm, of the 70 Assembly seats, BJP had won 20 and was leading on another 27, while the AAP won 11, and was leading on 12. The Congress could not get any seats.

Among the key exit polls, the closest were Axis My India, which projected the BJP winning 45-55 seats, and AAP bagging 15-25, while Today's Chanakya had predicted 45-57 seats for the BJP, and 13-25 for the AAP.

Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Sharma said the "arrogance" of opposition parties in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh led to their defeats in elections whose results were declared on Saturday.

Sharma's main target was Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal and a remark the former Delhi chief minister made -- that the BJP would never win against the AAP in assembly polls in Delhi.

"Even Ravana's ego did not last long, @ArvindKejriwal ji is but a very ordinary man," Sharma, a former deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh, said in a Hindi post on X.

"Under the charismatic leadership of Modi ji, BJP workers not only defeated him and his leaders in this birth but his arrogant ally in Uttar Pradesh also had to face a huge defeat in Milkipur. This is why they say Shri Ram's 'leela' is incomparable. Jai Shri Ram," the BJP leader said as he shared a video of Kejriwal.

Speaking to Republic Media Network, former AAP leader Ashish Khetan said,"I would not like to advise Kejriwal today. I think there will be another time and opportunity to do that kind of post-mortem."

When asked if he has lost the chance to do a turnaround, Khetan said, "See, in politics, it's never over until the fat lady sings. Politicians have bounced back and have bounced back from seemingly completely lost situations. So I'm not going to rule that Arvind Kejriwal would not bounce back. He has the fight in him. He's a 24-hour politician and he's a great communicator. So, it is a huge setback. But I would not say that Arvind Kejriwal is done and dusted."

"But you asked me a bigger question at the start that there were people who came in with a different aspiration, with a different dream, which was the dream of changing the politics of this country. That dream had died slowly and painfully. And today we see the end of that dream.Yeah, absolutely."

On Delhi Election 2025 results, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath says "The results of Delhi Assembly Elections and Milkipur by-elections have put a full stop to the politics of lies and loot. This is the victory of the development works done under the leadership of PM Modi for the last 11 years. I want to congratulate all the candidates who have been victorious in Delhi. I congratulate PM Modi, BJP chief JP Nadda, Union HM Amit Shah for bringing back BJP to power after a gap of 2.5 decades..."
