Lok Sabha Polls Phase 6: Will Delhi Pick India’s PM as It Has Done for 37 Consecutive Years? | N18VAnd “judgement day” is here. About Saturday’s Phase 6 of the Lok Sabha battle, it is safe to say that ballot boxes in seven constituencies will hold the answer to who will win the 2024 elections. History tells us that Delhi’s voters, spread across seven constituencies, have their finger on the national pulse. Perhaps being close to the corridors of power, they have acquired an incomparable insight into who is best suited to govern India. The party they have picked in nine consecutive Lok Sabha elections, over a span of nearly four decades, has either gone on to form the government on its own steam or has provided the Prime Minister at the head of the national coalition.Let’s begin with the Lok Sabha elections of 1989. Delhi’s seven seats saw the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee win four seats, while VP Singh’s Janata Dal netted one seat, and the Congress won the remaining two seats. The mixed verdict, where each party won some seats but couldn’t dominate, mirrored the messy outcome at the national level. India was to have its first coalition government since 1977. VP Singh was prime minister, and the BJP lent the government support.
