If there are re-elections then BJP will be the biggest gainer and in all probability Cong will also change their CM candidate this time so they may also not perform as badly. This time AAP had momentum but if State elections happen alongside Lok Sabha then it will be the National Parties, especially BJP which would benefit. Cong definitely has been shown its place in Delhi. Seeing that it was AAP that managed to project itself as an alternative to the corrupt Congress and gained a lot of the anti Cong votes, I'd say the BJP has done remarkably well in Delhi.
Chalo time will tell. Regarding the bold part, you've got to be kidding - an upstart party of 1 year and presence of people of 2 years in politics was able to upstage two behemoths of Indian politics and BJP has done remarkably well?

BJP was in pretty bad shape in Delhi till 2 months ago - the State President Vijay Goel didn't have the support of many leaders, the party was divided into many camps of individual leaders and there were many, many disputes over the distribution of tickets. They have done quite well in the last 2 months (mainly since Dr. Harshvardhan was named CM candidate) to get this far. As for AAP - they have definitely done very well but you also have to see the fact that they had been working for this thing since the Jan Lokpal campaign ended and in that time Kejriwal has positioned himself as the anti-corruption (or maybe even the anti-Cong) candidate. People were frustrated with the Cong so AAP got a lot of votes. I certainly don't think AAP can maintain this.
