(MENAFN- Live Mint) Delhi election result 2025: As the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) looks at an electoral defeat in the Delhi assembly elections, bringing an end to their decade-long rule, a social media post by Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has garnered attention. The X post by Swati Maliwal features a painting of the 'cheerharan' - the disrobing of Draupadi - from the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, adding a dramatic layer to the Political fallout.

Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leader and former Chief Minister , lost his New Delhi constituency to BJP's Parvesh Verma. The BJP is now poised to form the government in Delhi after 26 years.

Rajya Sabha MP and AAP leader Swati Maliwal, once an ally of Arvind Kejriwal, has become one of his most vocal critics.
