New Delhi · North · Union Territory with an elected legislative assembly
Chief Minister
BJP · in office since February 2025
Declared figures from the ECI election affidavit (2025), via MyNeta/ADR — as declared, not verified. Bars are the original publisher's 0–100 mappings (education mapping; legal: 100 − serious×18 − other×10) — theirs, not ours.
These 0–100 ratings are the original publisher's own, quoted here with their methodology. Audit India computes no score — the same way we carry UNDP's HDI as UNDP's number.
Transparency
44/ 100
the original publisher
Two CAG findings are carried here, both re-checked against the reports themselves in August 2026: the performance audit of the Delhi Jal Board (Report No. 3 of 2025) and the compliance audit of the electricity subsidy (Report No. 1 of 2026). DJB's ₹66,595 crore of outstanding loan and interest and its 51-53 per cent non-revenue water — accumulated over successive administrations with inadequate public disclosure — drive the score down. The BJP government that took office in February 2025 inherits an infrastructure transparency deficit. Delhi's RTI infrastructure is formally robust but DJB's financial disclosures remain opaque; the audit records that DJB's own accounts have been held not to depict a true and fair picture of its affairs.
Officials' Legal Integrity
97/ 100
the original publisher
9 unique officials counted (LG excluded — appointed position). CM Rekha Gupta: 0 cases → 100; Speaker Vijender Gupta: 0 → 100; Parvesh Verma: 1 case/0 serious → 90; Ashish Sood: 0 → 100; Manjinder Singh Sirsa: 0 → 100; Kapil Mishra: 1 case/1 serious → 82; Ravindra Kumar Gupta: 0 → 100; Sanjay Goyal: 0 → 100; Kailash Gahlot: 0 → 100. Average: (100+100+90+100+100+82+100+100+100) ÷ 9 = 872 ÷ 9 = 96.9, rounded to 97. Delhi BJP cabinet formed Feb 2025 after BJP won 48/70 seats — clean criminal record profile overall. Provenance note: this score is the original publisher's and is left as published. Three of the nine it counts — Ravindra Kumar Gupta, Sanjay Goyal and Kailash Gahlot — are not in the council, and the declared-case counts it uses for Vijender Gupta, Parvesh Verma, Ashish Sood, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Kapil Mishra do not match the affidavit figures carried in the officials list below. The officials list is the sitting council; the arithmetic above is not.
Governance
59/ 100
the original publisher
Composite: indicators avg (56/100) × 50% + Transparency (44/100) × 25% + Integrity (97/100) × 25% = 28 + 11 + 24.25 = 63.25; adjusted down to 59 to reflect: (1) Yamuna dead stretch — the 22 km Delhi stretch of the Yamuna carries 80% of the city's sewage despite ₹13,000+ crore spent on cleaning over 30 years — arguably India's most persistent civic failure; (2) air quality governance collapse — Delhi's AQI exceeds 200 on 100+ days per year with no enforcement mechanism capable of structural change; (3) 1,797 unauthorised colonies housing 40 lakh people without complete civic infrastructure.
The 0–100 rings are the original publisher's category scores, in their colour bands — theirs, not ours.
These statistics were carried over from the original publisher, which produced them with a language model rather than compiling them from the publications named beside them. We removed 38 whose figures were absent from the source they credit, and confirmed 45 against theirs. The rest name a publication we have not been able to check them against — read them as the original publisher's figures, not as verified fact.
Figures below are as declared by each individual in their own ECI or Rajya Sabha affidavit. We report them; we do not score them. The small bars under education are the original publisher's 0–100 mapping of the declared qualification — their construct, not a measurement of ours.

Findings from CAG audit reports on schemes as they ran in this state, quoted with their report references. We add no grade of our own.
Delhi Jal Board — Water Supply and Sewerage
Between 51 and 53 per cent of the water the Delhi Jal Board supplied each day was non-revenue water in every year of 2017-22 except 2019-20 — the audit puts the revenue not realised on that account at ₹4,988 crore. Transmission loss from underground and service reservoirs rose from 16 per cent to 21 per cent over the same period, and per capita availability fell below 20 gallons a day in four zones and below 40 in eight, against a 60-gallon requirement.
What the audit measured
DJB's total outstanding loan and interest stood at ₹66,595 crore in March 2022. It billed only 371 MGD — 40 per cent — of the potable water it produced in 2021-22, and only 244 MGD of that on meter readings. Against a 1,260 MGD requirement under CPHEEO norms, it supplies 935 MGD to 93 per cent of Delhi households. Of 16,234 groundwater samples tested, 8,933 — 55 per cent — were unfit to drink. There are no flow meters at treatment plants, reservoirs or borewells, so the quantity treated, transmitted and supplied cannot be measured accurately at all. 212.59 MGD of sewage from 1,080 unauthorised colonies goes into storm water drains untreated.
Electricity Subsidy — Government of NCT of Delhi
Delhi's electricity subsidy went to nearly the entire domestic consumer base rather than to the households that needed it, and the more electricity a household used the more subsidy it got. Over 30 lakh consumers in the 0-200 unit bracket received about ₹6,000 a year each; about 16.60 lakh consumers using more than 200 units received over ₹10,000 — roughly 70 per cent more per connection. The rationale for setting the threshold at 400 units, which covers about 80 per cent of domestic consumers, was not found on record.
What the audit measured
More than 50,000 consumers with zero consumption for over 12 months were paid ₹17.81 crore of subsidy; another 90,000-plus with zero consumption for six to eleven months got ₹11.88 crore, and over 1.70 lakh with zero consumption for three to five months got ₹12.57 crore. The power subsidy rose 31 per cent in three years, from ₹2,405.59 crore in 2019-20 to ₹3,161 crore in 2022-23, and accounted for between 66.96 and 70.39 per cent of all subsidy — subsidies together being about a tenth of Delhi's revenue expenditure. Tariffs have not risen since 2014-15, so unrecovered cost has piled up as regulatory assets on the DISCOMs' books: ₹9,063 crore in 2019-20, ₹27,200.37 crore by 31 March 2021.
The promises and their delivery status come from the original publisher and are their assessment, not ours. They cite a party's homepage rather than a manifesto, so what was promised cannot be checked from the citation given. Audit India has verified neither the wording nor the status.
Adopt a 'zero tolerance' policy against the misgovernance and corruption of AAP-DA, and constitute an SIT to investigate the scams related to DTC, Mohalla Clinic, Classroom, Excise Policy, Jal Board and others.
Verified against the archived manifesto: this is Sankalp 10 of the 16 Sankalp, quoted here in the manifesto's own words. The delivery status is carried over from the imported corpus and has not been sourced — no order constituting an SIT on all five subjects named here is cited in any document we hold.
Provide financial assistance of ₹2,500 monthly to women from poor families under the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana.
Rs 5,110 crore allocated and scheme renamed Delhi Lakshmi Yojana with registration opened 1 Aug 2026, but no Rs 2,500 monthly payments disbursed as of 21 Aug 2026 (first payouts slated for 28 Aug 2026).

Implement the central government's Ayushman Bharat Yojana in the first cabinet meeting, providing free treatment up to ₹5 lakh with an additional ₹5 lakh state government cover for all poor families.
PM-JAY approved in the first cabinet meeting (Feb 2025) and implemented from April 2025 with the promised Rs 5 lakh central cover plus Rs 5 lakh Delhi top-up; cards issued (incl. Vay Vandana for 70+) and ~30,000 beneficiaries reported treated by Feb 2026.

Delhi Social Welfare Department's schemes page still lists old-age pension at Rs 2,000 (60-69, +Rs 500 for SC/ST/minority) and Rs 2,500 (70+); news reports describe the Rs 500 hike only as a department plan, and no free-OPD rollout for 70+ is reported.

Grant full ownership rights to 1,700 unauthorised colonies in Delhi, allowing residents to construct, build or rebuild their homes.
In April 2026 the Centre and Delhi government approved regularisation of 1,511 of 1,731 unauthorised colonies on an as-is-where-is basis; conveyance-deed/ownership applications under PM-UDAY remain open (deadline Oct 2026), so full ownership rights are not yet universal.

Increase the monthly honorarium to ₹12,000 for Anganwadi workers, ₹7,000 for Anganwadi assistants and ₹6,000 for ASHA workers, with health and life insurance coverage.
Delhi WCD's official honorarium page (updated Aug 2026) still shows the March 2022 rates (worker Rs 11,220 + allowance, helper Rs 5,610 + allowance) with no hike to the promised Rs 12,000/Rs 7,000, and no ASHA hike to Rs 6,000 or new insurance cover is reported.

Establish 7 new medical colleges in Delhi and set up 500 new Jan Aushadhi Kendras to provide quality medicines at affordable prices.
Jan Aushadhi expansion has begun (17 kendras inaugurated with 33 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in June 2025; pledge of a kendra within 500m of every government hospital), but this is far short of 500 and no new medical college is reported.

Provide government jobs to 50,000 youth in a time-bound manner and employment or self-employment opportunities to 20 lakh youth in Delhi.
Government recruitment is under way (2,100+ teachers appointed in 2026, incl. 1,368 in Aug 2026, plus other hiring and an internship programme), but reported numbers are far short of 50,000 jobs and no 20-lakh employment tally is documented.

Establish welfare boards for auto and taxi drivers, gig workers, domestic workers, textile workers and street vendors, providing life insurance up to ₹10 lakh and accident insurance up to ₹5 lakh, plus scholarships for their children.
The 2026-27 Delhi budget provides for separate welfare boards for gig workers, auto-taxi drivers and transgenders (after a Rs 10 crore provision in 2025-26), but the boards were not yet constituted as of Aug 2026, with driver unions protesting for their formation.

Transform Delhi into a 100% e-bus city by increasing the number of e-buses to 13,000.
E-bus fleet expansion is under way — about 4,845 electric buses (incl. DEVI feeders) by July 2026 with further inductions in Aug 2026 — against the 13,000 target now projected for FY 2028-29; Delhi is not yet a 100% e-bus city.

Launch the Delhi Clean Air Mission to halve Delhi's average AQI by 2030 and reduce PM-2.5 and PM-10 levels by 50%.
A 25-point Air Pollution Mitigation Plan was launched in June 2025 and a Rs 8,300 crore World Bank-supported 'Clean Air, Healthy Delhi' project announced in July 2026, but the promised halving of AQI/PM levels is a 2030 target with no such outcome yet.

Continue 200 units of free electricity every month.
Free electricity (0–200 units) and 50% subsidy (201–400 units) continued throughout the 2020-2025 AAP term. 47 lakh residential consumers benefited. GoNCTD paid ~₹3,200–3,500 crore/year to DISCOMs. Most visible and popular AAP delivery.
Free water: 20 kilolitres per month for every metered Delhi household
DJB 20kl free water scheme continued throughout the term for ~26 lakh metered households. Limitation: ~40% of Delhi households (JJ clusters) lack metered connections and access piped water through costly tankers, effectively excluded from the free benefit.
Free bus travel for women on all DTC and cluster buses
Launched October 2019 (pre-election). ~5 lakh women travelled free daily throughout 2020-25 term. GoNCTD reimbursed DTC ~₹800 crore/year. Credited with increasing women's workforce participation. Continued by BJP government from 2025.
