New Delhi, Feb 8 (NationPress) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has surpassed the majority threshold according to the latest updates on the Delhi Assembly election results. By 12:45 PM, the BJP was reported to have garnered 48 seats, whereas the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) managed just 22 seats.
These outcomes have triggered a wave of memes across social media, with users humorously poking fun at Arvind Kejriwal's AAP and the Congress.
One user on X shared a meme illustrating contestants poised for a race, positioning BJP and AAP near the finish line while Congress is humorously depicted heading the other way -- a sarcastic nod to Congress' lack of competitiveness.
Moreover, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) added to the humor on X by stating, "Sources indicate that Bhagwant Mann Singh has blocked Arvind Kejriwal's number."
The meme trend persisted with another image showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal in a wrestling match, where Kejriwal is humorously shown receiving a tough beating from the Prime Minister.
In another display of satire, a meme circulated featuring SP MP Awadhesh Prasad in tears, captioned as "Arvind Kejriwal upon witnessing the Delhi Election Result."
Another clip, showcasing him crying as he views the election results, highlights that AAP didn’t even reach the halfway point.
Yet another meme illustrates Delhi voters energetically supporting BJP while AAP appears to be struggling and Congress is represented as metaphorically submerged.
Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, also joined the social media commentary, poking fun at the INDIA bloc -- especially Congress and AAP -- after early indicators pointed to a decisive victory for BJP in Delhi.
In a social media post, he humorously remarked, "aur lado aapas mein" (keep fighting amongst yourselves).
The jest continued with a meme showing Congress Minister Rahul Gandhi checking the count of zeroes, a pointed jab at his party for failing to secure even a single seat.
A user compared former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to cricketer Virat Kohli, humorously depicting him wiping away tears. Kejriwal, contesting from the New Delhi constituency, is currently engaged in a three-way contest against BJP's Parvesh Verma and Congress' Sandeep Dikshit, and is trailing behind.
The overall battle in Delhi seems to be increasingly between just two parties -- AAP and BJP. One meme features Kejriwal proclaiming, "Desh mein Modi ki koi hawa nahin hai!!" (There is no Modi wave in the country), only for Prime Minister Modi to humorously respond by urging Kejriwal to take off his muffler and feel the breeze.
Another meme makes light of the former Chief Minister's renovated residence, dubbed 'Sheesh Mahal,' with a caption stating, "Utho Sunita, Sheesh Mahal khaali karne ka waqt aa gaya hai."
A viral video captures two young girls dancing, drawing comparisons to Swati Maliwal and Bansuri Swaraj celebrating Kejriwal's downfall, while yet another meme features Khalisi from Game of Thrones -- likened to Swati Maliwal -- laughing as the AAP government appears to be in chaos behind her.
The single-phase Delhi Assembly elections took place on February 5, and counting of votes is ongoing. Today's results will determine whether Arvind Kejriwal's AAP will secure a fourth term or if BJP will achieve a momentous comeback in the national capital.
Currently, top AAP figures like Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi, Manish Sisodia, and Satyendar Jain are in contention, while BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri and Kailash Gahlot are showing clear leads.
