The key issues in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Delhi were:
- AAP’s Alliance with INC: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) joined forces with the Indian National Congress (INC) as part of the INDIA coalition, aiming to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi. This alliance was seen as a significant development in the electoral landscape.
- Anti-Incumbency Sentiments: The AAP, despite not having won a Lok Sabha seat in Delhi previously, managed to secure a majority in the Delhi Assembly elections in 2020. This anti-incumbency sentiment could have influenced voter decisions in the 2024 elections.
- Local Development and Governance: Delhi’s political dynamics are shaped by governance issues, local development, and national policies. The election results were expected to reflect the city’s aspirations and concerns on these fronts.
- National Policies and Issues: The election was also influenced by national issues such as economic growth, employment, and social welfare, which were key campaign themes for the major parties.
- Regional and Local Interests: Each constituency in Delhi reflects diverse demographics and local interests, making the election a complex battle with various regional and local factors at play.
These issues and factors contributed to the intense campaigning and strategic manoeuvring by political parties in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Delhi.
