After BJP’s resounding victory in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, PM Modi addressed the nation, taking a sharp dig at the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) while reaffirming his commitment to governance, development, and accountability. Here are the key takeaways from his speech:
1. PM Modi taunts Congress’ Decline – Double hattrick of Zeroes
PM Modi emphasised Congress’ continuous downfall in Delhi politics, stating that the party has faced six consecutive election defeats without winning a single seat in the national capital. Calling it a “double hattrick of zero,” he remarked that Congress has awarded itself the gold medal of defeat. He suggested that the party’s failure to connect with the people and its outdated political strategies have led to its irrelevance.

2. Corruption Charges Against AAP to be Investigated
The Prime Minister made a strong statement regarding corruption allegations in the Delhi government under AAP. He promised a thorough investigation into the charges and assured that those responsible for looting public money would be held accountable.
PM Modi said, “I guarantee that the CAG report on Delhi will be placed in Parliament. Each charge of corruption will be probed, and those who have looted will have to return the loot. This is Modi’s guarantee.”
3. ‘AAP Turned Out to be Kattar Beimaan’
Taking a direct dig at AAP, PM Modi accused the party of betraying the people of Delhi despite coming to power with promises of clean politics. He criticized the party’s governance, especially blaming them for the pollution and poor condition of the Yamuna River. He assured that his government would work towards restoring Yamuna’s lost glory.
4. Congress Promotes ‘Urban Naxal’ Ideology
PM Modi launched a fierce attack on Congress, alleging that the party has moved away from national interest and adopted the ideology of “Urban Naxals.” He stated that Congress leaders have been using divisive language and attempting to create anarchy in society. According to him, AAP had also been promoting the same ideology in Delhi, which led to its downfall in the elections.

5. Congress – A ‘Parjeevi Party’ Destroying Its Own Allies
Calling Congress a “Parjeevi Party” (a parasite party), Narendra Modi accused it of weakening its allies for political survival. He highlighted how Congress has been:
- Stealing the vote banks of parties like Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in Uttar Pradesh.
- Trying to appeal to DMK voters in Tamil Nadu by adopting their rhetoric.
- Spreading caste-based politics in Bihar to undermine Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
He further noted that Congress’ allies in the INDI Alliance have now started realizing the party’s true character and its attempts to overpower them.

6. Failed Attempt to Appear ‘Pro-Hindu’
PM Modi also pointed out how Congress, after 2014, tried to project itself as a Hindu-friendly party by visiting temples and performing religious rituals to counter BJP’s appeal among Hindu voters. However, he noted that this strategy did not work, and now Congress has completely abandoned that approach.
