Abstract
Delhi is one the biggest cities in the world with over 28 million people. In 2015 the two established parties, Congress and the BJP, were completely defeated in the Delhi elections by the newly-created Aam Aadmi Party (party of the common man), led by Arvind Kejriwal, who first became known in India as leader of a huge national anti-corruption campaign in 2011. The AAP and Kejriwal moved rapidly to provide universal and improved public services and halted privatisations, including in healthcare, schools, water and energy. In February 2020 the AAP won the elections again, by a similar landslide.
