Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday (February 8, 2025) weighed in on the Delhi Election trends, saying that the early results show a sharp competition between the BJP and the opposition parties.
Mr. Raut said that if the Congress and AAP had allied, the outcome might have been very different. He emphasised that both the Congress and AAP have the same political opponent — the BJP -— but unfortunately they chose to fight individually rather than join forces.
“The early trends show a sharp competition. Had Congress and AAP been together, the results may have been different... The political opponent of AAP and Congress is BJP. Both of them fought to keep BJP from coming to power, but they fought individually. If they had been together then BJP’s defeat must have been confirmed in the first hour (of counting),” said Mr. Raut.
