Kejriwal Elected as Delhi's Chief Minister once again

Yesterday results of Delhi state government was declared. Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Adami Party won 62 seats out of 70 seats, BJP got 8 seats and congress got 0 seats. As voting percentage goes AAP's vote share declined from 54% in 2015 to 53.57% in 2020 which is not significant despite anti incumbency factor. BJP's share increased from 32% in 2015 to 38.51% in 2020. Congress's share declined from 10% in 2015 to 4.26% 2020.

I accept this mandate as BJP's defeat and will not blame Delhi's voter being bad mentality voter. We must respect voter's mandate and not blame him as bad mentality voter weather he is voter of Delhi or Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. You can't say Delhi's voter is good because he voted your favorite party to power but Uttar Pradesh's voter is a bad mentality voter because he voted for a party which you don't like.

If Arvind Kejriwal was able to beat anti incumbency factor with such a huge majority then it mean he did some good work in last 5 years. On the other hand BJP was not able to convince people of Delhi that their local leaders are capable of performing better than Kejriwal. There might be internal fight between BJP leader's because of that BJP was not able to come up with a chief ministerial candidate. Local election need to have good local leadership. BJP was not able to provide good local leadership.

I see Dr. Harshvardhan being a good candidate for chief minister's post but he is thrown out into a corner by BJP. This might be because Narender Modi like sycophants and not leaders who have standing of their own.These kind of favoritism can destroy and organization.
