paragraph_text: Corruption Allegations & Leadership Credibility
  
  According to the Lokniti-CSDS Survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents perceived the AAP government as corrupt, with 28% categorizing it as highly corrupt. Two specific controversies played a significant role in shaping public perception regarding corruption within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. The first was the alleged irregularities in the liquor policy, while the second centered on the controversial expenditures on the Chief Minister's residence, which the BJP referred to as 'Sheesh Mahal'. Both issues were prominently highlighted in the BJP's anti-corruption campaign against AAP, contributing to the party's declining credibility and electoral setbacks. Additionally, several key AAP leaders suffered electoral defeats, reflecting growing public disillusionment with the party's governance and its ability to deliver on its promises.
