BJP will never lose election again! How Pakistan, US, world media reacted as Delhi saw saffron surge after 27 years

Delhi Election Results 2025: From PM Narendra Modi's ‘salute’ to Delhi for BJP's historic win in the capital to activist Anna Hazare's criticism of Arvind Kejriwal — a lot has been said about Delhi Election Results 2025.

The BJP's sweeping win in the 2025 Delhi Assembly election has also attracted significant attention from global media, with many outlets interpreting it as a major political shift in India’s capital after 26 years.

‘BJP will never lose…’

“It feels like BJP will never lose an election again. They have the system sewn up tight,” Al Jazeera quoted Nivedita Menon, a professor of politics at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

The BJP won 48 of 70 assembly seats in Delhi — comfortably crossing the halfway mark needed to form the government in the union territory.

Another political analyst, Rasheed Kidwai, told the outlet that the results are significant “because this victory is a story of BJP’s micromanagement in constituencies. And tells us that they are unmatched”.

What the Pakistani media said

Pakistan's Geo TV covered the results of the Delhi elections and mentioned in its report that BJP's win "is a symbolic and strategically important victory."

How US media reacted

News agency Reuters described the election outcome as a "landmark win" for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party, emphasising how the BJP’s campaign centered on governance, law and order, and infrastructure.

The Reuters report noted, “The victory underscores the party’s growing appeal in urban centres, particularly among middle-class voters who once supported AAP.”

What UK media outlets said

UK media outlet BBC referred to the election as a battle of prestige for both the BJP and AAP.

BBC's report highlighted that for the BJP, winning Delhi is not just about electoral success—it’s a significant milestone, giving them a much-needed foothold in the nation’s capital after being absent from power there since 1998.
