Delhi govt formation updates: BJP begins talks to pick next Delhi CM; Kejriwal to meet AAP MLAs on Feb 11

After AAP’s loss in the Delhi Assembly elections, caretaker Chief Minister Atishi said that the party will ensure the accountability of Bharatiya Janata Party government.

Assuring the public that AAP will play the role of ‘responsible’ opposition, Atishi said that the party will ensure that every woman receives the said amount and other benefits promised by the BJP.

“BJP promised that in the first cabinet meeting, the scheme of Rs 2,500 will be passed and by 8th March, Rs 2,500 will be deposited in the accounts of all women of Delhi. AAP will ensure accountability of the BJP on this and ensure that every woman in Delhi gets this Rs 2,500 from the BJP. We will also ensure that the work that AAP has done in the last 10 years is not stopped by the BJP.” Ms. Atishi said.

The Yamuna factor played a pivotal role in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, reshaping voter sentiment and helping the BJP make history by defeating AAP. 

A major shift came from Haryanvi-origin voters, who saw AAP’s stance on Yamuna pollution as an attack on their home State.

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal will hold a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party MLAs from the State in the National Capital on February 10 to discuss the Delhi Assembly polls outcome, party sources said on Monday.

The meeting comes two days after the Aam Aadmi Party’s rout in Delhi, where the BJP is set to form the government after a gap of more than 26 years.

BJP leader Vijender Gupta slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), describing its years of misgovernance in Delhi and stating that the party failed to fulfil its commitments while in power.

He also asserted that the BJP would ensure the delivery of all promises made to the people. 

Speaking to ANI, Mr. Gupta said, “We will fulfil all the promises made by us to the people of Delhi. I am an MLA and whatever the party will decide we will follow that”

After 26 years out of power in the national capital, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to retake Delhi. 

BJP has not declared a CM face for Assembly elections. Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva had said that the decision will lie with the party’s central high-command, which includes PM Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
