Jangpura, one of Delhi’s 70 assembly constituencies, is part of the South East district and falls under the general category. The seat went to polls on February 5. This year, BJP fielded Sardar Tarvinder Singh Marwah, while Congress nominated Farhad Suri against AAP’s Sisodia.

The Jangpura seat was once a stronghold of the Congress, which held it from 1993 to 2003. However, AAP gained dominance over the constituency in the last three elections.

In the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, AAP’s Praveen Kumar won with 45,133 votes, defeating BJP’s Impreet Singh Bakshi, who secured 29,070 votes. Congress’ Tarvinder Singh Marwah, who contested on a Congress ticket then, received 13,565 votes.

Jangpura had become a crucial battleground this election, particularly with Sisodia in the fray. With a voter base of 1,42,634—comprising 77,244 men, 65,387 women, and three transgender voters—the constituency played a decisive role in shaping the political landscape.

Sisodia, known for his policies on education and governance, was considered a strong contender. However, his defeat marks a significant setback for AAP. The Jangpura result is expected to have wider political implications for both AAP and BJP in Delhi’s evolving electoral scenario.
