Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘Sheesh Mahal’, liquor scam: Double whammy that sunk AAP in Delhi election

The Aam Aadmi Party lost the 2025 Delhi assembly election to the BJP amid corruption allegations, with their seat count dropping from 62 to 22.

The Aam Aadmi Party lost the 2025 Delhi assembly election to the BJP amid corruption allegations, with their seat count dropping from 62 to 22.

The Aam Aadmi Party, which keenly eyed a fourth consecutive term in power in Delhi, got swept out of the national capital by the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2025 assembly elections amid allegations of corruption and scams.

Kejriwal’s “failed promises, liquor policy and Sheesh Mahal” remained in focus. In comparison to the AAP’s tally from the 2020 Delhi election of 62 seats, this year’s 22-seat count was a major downfall.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the BJP supporters at party headquarters after election results, said people of the capital feel a relief of liberating Delhi from ‘AAP-da’.

‘Sheesh Mahal’ defeat factor?

Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘sheesh mahal’ or luxurious chief minister residence has been a key factor in the BJP’s poll campaign against the Aam Aadmi Party in the run-up to the Delhi election. The saffron party accused the former Delhi chief minister of building a palace for himself while the poor and those in need were forced to stay in shanties.
