History of Adarsh Nagar Assembly Constituency

Ashwani Ahuja, who entered the fray as a candidate of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), came a distant fourth with 5640 votes. Whereas former UP CM Mayawati led BSP drew a blank in 2013 assembly polls to Delhi, in the previous assembly elections held in 2008, the party had won two seats. 

In 2015 and 2024, Adarsh Nagar, one of the seventy assembly seats in Delhi, was won by AAP's Pawan Kumar Sharma. 

BJP's Ram Kishan Singhal won in 2013 by defeating his nearest rival Jagdeep Rana of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by a margin of 9923 votes. Former Congress minister Mangat Ram, who had been representing the constituency since 1998, was relegated to the third position.  

In 1998 assembly polls, which inaugurated the Sheila Dixit government in Delhi, Adarsh Nagar went in favour of Mangat Ram who emerged victorious by defeating the sitting BJP legislator Jai Parkash Yadav by a huge margin of 19518 votes. 

Jai Parkash Yadav was the winner of the Adarsh Nagar seat in the first elections to the Delhi legislative assembly held in 1993. He claimed the seat by defeating Mangat Ram by a razor thin margin of just 40 votes.
