Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva casts his vote at a polling booth
New Delhi: At a voting place in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 of the Patparganj Assembly seat, Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva cast his ballot. He said that a double-engine administration will be created in Delhi, demonstrating his confidence in the BJP’s election victory.
“In Delhi, a double-engine government would be established. Voters in Delhi will support a more developed city. Sachdeva told reporters, “Arvind Kejriwal is engaging in hooliganism by accepting his defeat in Delhi.”
“Yesterday, CM Atishi’s associate was caught with Rs 5 lakhs, and the driver who was caught with him is working in the Education Department of the Delhi Government,” he said.
He urged the populace to use their right to vote.
“Today the people of Delhi are voting for a developed national capital and I appeal to the public to come out and cast their votes for a party that does not fight with the Centre and works in coordination with the Central Govt.”
Voters cast votes for the 8th Assembly in Delhi under strict security as polling for 70 assembly seats got underway Wednesday morning. According to authorities, voting will start at 7:00 am and go until 6:00 pm.
83,76,173 men, 72,36,560 women, and 1,267 third-gender voters make up Delhi’s 1,56,14,000 registered voters. Additionally, 239,905 first-time voters between the ages of 18 and 19, 109,368 senior citizens 85 and older, and 79,885 people with impairments make up the electorate.
For the elections, some 8,715 volunteers and 97,955 staff have been sent out. To ensure a smooth election, security measures include 19,000 Home Guards, 220 Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) companies, and 35,626 Delhi Police officers.
In an effort to foster diversity, 70 polling places will be administered solely by female employees, while another 70 will be operated entirely by people with disabilities. Seventy polling places have also been established to promote young involvement.
An AI-based Queue Management System app called “Delhi Election – 2025 QMS” is accessible on the Google Play Store and allows voters to track the number of people at voting places in real time. Parents with little children will have access to a crèche, and emergency medical personnel will be on hand.
A hotline number (1950) and color-coded polling places will also help voters find their assigned booth and answer election-related questions.
While the Bharatiya Janata Party is doing all in its ability to regain control, the governing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is aiming for a third term.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP campaign attacked Kejriwal for alleged corruption and Yamuna water problems. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, two prominent Congressmen, staged rallies in the meanwhile and said that the AAP was “damaging” Delhi’s infrastructure.
Chief Electoral Officer R. Alice Vaz encouraged all eligible voters to cast ballots on election eve, stressing that doing so is both a basic civic obligation and a right.
