Election results 2014: Clean sweep for BJP in Delhi

NEW DELHI: The saffron sweep didn't leave Delhi untouched. True to form, the Capital reflected the national mood, with all seven seats going to BJP while AAP finished second and Congress trailed at third.

BJP's campaign sought votes on a one-point Modi-for-PM agenda and its mix of newcomers and sitting MLAs rode on a massive pro-change wave that saw the party emerge victorious in a three-cornered contest.

For AAP, the results are sobering. The "quitter" tag stuck and failure to win a single seat in its "home base" is a significant setback and AAP's cohesiveness will be tested in the wake of its poor showing.

AAP can draw some satisfaction at replacing Congress as the alternative to BJP. It remains capable of surprising Congress and BJP if either slip up and is a threat to both.

Arvind Kejriwal's leadership will be tested when assembly elections are held as AAP can ill afford another setback after a Lok Sabha washout. Depending upon support in slums and among Muslims is a risky gambit.

The road back is harder for Congress, as its fortunes are linked to the national results. There is a serious danger of the party being edged out of Delhi's political equations.
