I guess it did not help Modi playing right wing hindu nationalist card and trying to convert non-hindus to Hinduism. I guess communalism can play political dividends in India if you are out of power, but when you are in power you are expected to perform & Modi has failed bring his home state’s magic to the national level.

Yes, the communal rhetoric from some BJP MPs in the days leading up to the election did not help BJP in Delhi. However, as already pointed out by other posters, Delhi has a very different electorate and BJP failed to grasp the pulse of the people. Even though I am not a fan of Kejriwal, AAP’s win is a positive thing for the Indian democracy.
