In Babarpur, will AAP be successful in changing history?
Delhi's babarpur assembly constituency is one of the VIP seats. The history here is that no party has been able to win three consecutive elections. This time aam aadmi party and its candidate Gopal Rai are trying their best to win from here for the third time. He is in direct competition with BJP's Brahmin candidate Anil Vashisht and Ishraq Khan, who was an AAP mla from Seelampur. Ishraq has left the aam aadmi party and joined hands with Congress. Talking about the results of the elections so far in babarpur, bjp has dominated in the seven elections held from 1993 to 2020. bjp has won four elections so far. The special thing is that, from 1993 to 2020, naresh Gaur represented the party here on behalf of bjp in the elections.
This time the party has cut his ticket and bet on Anil Vashisht. Gaur had to data-face defeat at the hands of AAP's Gopal Rai in the last two elections 2020 and 2015. While once in 2003, Vinay Sharma of congress defeated him. naresh Gaur succeeded in hoisting the bjp flag on babarpur seat in 1993, 1998, 2008 and 2013.
This time the contest is triangular
babarpur seat has the highest number of Brahmin voters. A total of 57 percent of the voters are from the non-Muslim community, while 43 percent are Muslim voters, whose one-time vote can make the result of this election one-sided. This is the reason why congress has made Ishraq Khan its candidate from here. While bjp has bet on Anil Vashisht keeping in mind the majority of non-Muslim and Brahmin voters. aam aadmi party has kept faith in Gopal Rai, but this time the contest here seems to be triangular instead of being between AAP and BJP. By the way, the history of this seat has been that in every third election, the public changed their mind and along with that, they also changed their representatives.
