Delhi Election 2025: Whoa, What Just Happened?

Okay, so the Delhi Assembly elections are officially over. Voting wrapped up on February 6th, with a turnout of 60.42%. Now, everyone's glued to their screens, waiting for the results on February 8th. It’s been a wild ride, and honestly, who saw *this* coming?

Early Predictions and the Axis My India Poll

Before the votes were even counted, Axis My India and other pollsters were throwing out predictions. Several pointed towards a possible BJP win. But, you know, polls are just polls. They're snapshots in time, not crystal balls. We'll have to wait and see what the actual numbers say.

A Surprise Vote: The AIIA President's Take

Here’s where things get really interesting. Moulana Sajid Rashidi, the President of the All India Imam Association (AIIA), publicly stated he voted for the BJP. Now, that's a big deal, and it got everyone talking. Why? Because it highlights the complex political landscape in Delhi, especially regarding the Muslim community.

Rashidi explained his vote wasn't a full-throated endorsement of the BJP. Instead, he felt it was a strategic move to counter the fear and anxiety he sees within the Muslim community about potential threats to their rights. He clarified that he believes the fear-mongering is actually coming more from the opposition parties than the BJP itself—the narrative of the BJP somehow “ousting” Muslims from the country. He emphasized that voting for the BJP doesn’t stop him from advocating for his community's rights or criticizing government policies he disagrees with. It was, he says, about tackling the fear, and tackling it head-on.
