==Politics== During the last few decades, residents of Ghonda have generally supported the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), who have been in power in the area since the Lok Sabha elections of the Northeast Delhi constituency in 1993. The second most popular political party within Ghonda was historically the Indian National Congress (INC), which performed well in the 1998, 2003, and 2008 local elections. In the 2015 election, the residents of Ghonda elected representatives from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ending the almost-decade long INC and BJP winning streaks. However, in 2020, the constituency again became a BJP stronghold.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Elections 2020 Dates and Schedule|url=https://www.mapsofindia.com/assemblypolls/|access-date=2021-01-06|website=Maps of India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Delhi Govt Portal: Home|url=https://delhi.gov.in/|access-date=2021-01-06|website=delhi.gov.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=IFSC Code – MICR Code BSR Code of all Bank Branches in India|url=https://banksifsccode.com/|access-date=2021-01-06|website=BanksIFSCcode.com}}</ref>
