Shikha is leading with 15,459 votes, surpassing Bharadwaj by 4,049 votes, according to the Election Commission trends. Bharadwaj currently has 11,410 votes. As the counting of votes is underway, it appears that the saffron party is poised to win the important seat by a massive margin. Notably, the Greater Kailash Assembly constituency witnessed a three-cornered battle between the ruling AAP, BJP, and Congress on February 5.
Greater Kailash is a crucial seat and a major battleground in the 2025 assembly election in the national capital. On voting day, the seat witnessed a three-way battle between AAP, BJP, and Congress, making it the most closely watched battle in the 70-seat assembly election in Delhi.
The political future of the 60-year-old BJP politician will be determined in the upcoming 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. She is currently serving as the BJP councillor for the second term from ward number 173 in the Greater Kailash assembly constituency. In 2023, she was also a candidate for the position of mayor representing the BJP. She holds a post-graduate degree and her total assets are estimated at Rs 16.1 Crore, with liabilities reported at Rs 3.1 Crore.
Recently, Shikha said that she’s confident that the saffron party will win and form the government. Dismissing the allegation levelled by AAP that the BJP is loosing the battle, she said, “The people of Delhi also want development like the other states that have a double-engine government,” she told ANI. Saurabh, on the other hand, stated that the exit polls will be proven wrong and AAP will form government this time also.
In the last Delhi Assembly Elections Results, Greater Kailash recorded a historically high voter turnout – 60% of the electorate participating.
