YouTuber & controversial influencer Dhruv Rathee on Saturday broke down the reasons that contributed to the defeat of the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi Elections. Dhruv Rathee pinned the blame of AAP's loss in the Delhi Election 2025 on BJP's attempt to 'stall the whole functioning of the government'. Rathee further accused L-G of Delhi of deliberately halting orders passed by the AAP government in Delhi. Below is what Dhruv Rathee wrote on AAP's loss in Delhi Elections 2025 (Dhruv Rathee Delhi Election 2025 Result Reaction)-
"AAP lost because no work was being done in Delhi since last few years..And that is because BJP did everything possible to stall the whole functioning of the government. From using LG to halt orders, to their agencies jailing leaders under fake cases to passing new laws. Ever since the GNCTD Act of 2023, Delhi has already being indirectly ruled by BJP.
It’s good that people of Delhi can now directly see who is really responsible for all their issues.
The only question is whether people will still continue to talk about issues of air pollution, Yamuna pollution, crumbling infrastructure and cleanliness in the coming years. Or will BJP be successful in brainwashing and suppressing people to ignore all this in the name of religious hatred like they’ve done in many other states."
