Karawal Nagar: Will Kapil Mishra pull the chariot of BJP’s victory? Will Congress’ dream be fulfilled?


New Delhi:

BJP on Saturday released its second list of candidates for Delhi Assembly seat. One name surprised everyone in this. This name was Kapil Mishra. BJP has made him its candidate from Karawal Nagar. The reason for people’s surprise was that BJP has made Mishra its candidate by canceling the ticket of its MLA. Karawal Nagar is a strong fort of BJP in Delhi. BJP has lost from this seat only once in the elections held since 1993. It falls in North East Delhi Lok Sabha seat. In such a situation, this time people’s eyes are on Karawal Nagar to see whether Kapil Mishra can save this stronghold of BJP or not.

Strong fort of BJP

Karawal Nagar has been a stronghold of BJP since the beginning. In the first elections held in 1993, Ram Pal had won from here on BJP ticket. BJP’s journey of victory in Karawal Nagar since 1993 continued till 2013. In the 1998 elections, BJP had fielded Mohan Singh Bisht in place of Ram Pal. Bisht continued winning from Karawal Nagar till 2013. But in the 2015 assembly elections, Kapil Mishra of Aam Aadmi Party defeated him by about 45 thousand votes. When Kapil Mishra won from Karawal Nagar, at that time his demand Annapurna Mishra was in BJP. She has been a councilor twice from Sonia Vihar ward which falls in this assembly seat. Bisht had snatched his seat from AAP in the 2020 elections.

Before the 2020 elections, Kapil Mishra left AAP after differences with the party. After this, AAP gave ticket to Durgesh Pathak from Karawal Nagar. In this election, Bisht again won from Karawal Nagar. He defeated Durgesh Pathak by a margin of more than eight thousand votes. But in the 2025 elections, BJP has canceled Bisht’s ticket and fielded Kapil Mishra. Mishra had joined BJP before the 2020 elections. BJP had given him ticket from Model Town in 2020. There he was defeated by AAP’s Akhilesh Pati Tripathi by a margin of more than 11 thousand votes.

Who will challenge Kapil Mishra?

Kapil Mishra is once again contesting elections from Karawal Nagar. This time he is facing AAP’s Manoj Tyagi and Congress’s PK Mishra. Karawal Nagar has a large population of people from Uttaranchal. This is the reason why Bisht has been winning from this seat for so long. Apart from the hills, people from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are also voters here in large numbers. Apart from these, Punjabi, Haryanvi and people of Western Uttar Pradesh are also voters of this assembly constituency. Keeping this population in mind, various parties have selected their candidates. This seat still remains first for Congress. Congress has not been able to win this seat till date. The challenge is not only before Congress but also before AAP which is running the government in Delhi. She will once again try to win this seat. That is why AAP was the first to announce the candidate for this seat.
