In the 1998 state assembly election, his margin of victory decreased more than half to 4,437 votes over runner-up Narain Singh Yadav of Congress.

Personal life

In 2006, the Delhi High Court ordered the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to demolish 18,000 properties, which were found to be illegally constructed. Aggarwal, who was living with his family at Saraswati Vihar, Pitampura, had his house demolished as "[t]he court order did not distinguish between the VIP's and the common people of Delhi". He claimed that his action would "change the image of the quintessential tainted Indian politician". He resides at New Swastik Apartment, Sector–9, Rohini. His interests include social and religious work and reading.
