India, Feb. 9 -- A 27-year-long saffron drought came to an end on Saturday as the Bharatiya Janata Party broke through the political walls of Delhi and won the assembly election with significant numbers, dethroning the Aam Aadmi Party from the power centre.

The JP Nadda-led BJP bagged 48 of the 70 seats in the Delhi assembly, preventing Arvind Kejriwal's party from hitting a victory hattrick. The AAP bagged 22 seats, taking a massive hit from its 2020 tally of 62 seats in Delhi.
