With 32,789 votes (33.60%), Ashok Prashar (Pappi) won a tight three-cornered contest, staying only a few thousand votes ahead of both BJP and Congress. The margin showed strength, but not dominance. It was enough to win in 2022, yet close enough to raise questions. Was this victory driven more by the AAP wave than by deep personal support ? And as 2027 approaches, can Pappi turn this narrow lead into solid trust on the ground or will the closeness of the numbers make this seat far more fragile next time ?
32,789 वोट (33.60%) के साथ अशोक पराशर (पप्पी) ने एक कड़े त्रिकोणीय मुकाबले में जीत दर्ज की, जहां वह भाजपा और कांग्रेस से केवल कुछ हज़ार वोट आगे रहे। यह अंतर ताकत दिखाता है, लेकिन दबदबा नहीं। 2022 में जीत के लिए यह काफी था, पर सवाल भी छोड़ गया। क्या यह जीत आम आदमी पार्टी की लहर का नतीजा थी या पप्पी की अपनी ज़मीनी पकड़ का ? और जैसे-जैसे 2027 नज़दीक आ रहा है, क्या पप्पी इस करीबी बढ़त को पक्के भरोसे में बदल पाएंगे या फिर यही आंकड़े अगली बार सीट को और नाज़ुक बना देंगे ?
