Delhi MCD Results: Arvind Kejriwal's AAP Wins MCD Polls, BJP's 15-years Rule Comes To An End

The AAP had emergeda as the winner by 2 pm when it crossed the majority-mark of 126. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)바카라 웹사이트is second in MCD results tally with 104바카라 웹사이트seats, according to final figures from the State Election Commission (SEC).

While the AAP has won as exit polls had predicted, the margin is much narrow. Exit polls had predicted the BJP to be a distant second but the results show that it바카라 웹사이트put up a spirited fight.

Kejriwal, AAP leaders in a huddle

AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held바카라 웹사이트a meeting of senior party leaders to finalise the strategies, according to reports, which add바카라 웹사이트that Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, and senior leader Raghav Chadha rushed to Kejriwal's residence in early hours of counting.바카라 웹사이트

Kejriwal and AAP were바카라 웹사이트counting on winning MCD elections to consolidate their hold over the Delhi politics and to emerge as a direct challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP in 2024 national elections. With victory in Punjab and inroads in Gujarat, the AAP had been counting on winning MCD elections to further bolster its case against Modi and BJP.바카라 웹사이트

AAP contested the MCD elections on the promise of clean and corruption-free Delhi. The BJP라이브 바카라 bet was, however, on the alleged excise scam바카라 웹사이트and the alleged involvement of바카라 웹사이트AAP leaders into it. It also deployed its who's who in MCD elections campaign, ranging from top Delhi BJP leaders to Union ministers and chief ministers of BJP-run states. Despite such efforts, the BJP has fallen short of the majority-mark.

AAP has accused BJP of trying to topple his government. Prior to the elections, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) several times raided the houses of senior AAP leaders including deputy CM Manish Sisodia. However, the chargesheet of CBI submitted to a special court in the liquor scam case didn’t mention Sisodia라이브 바카라 name.

Expected setback바카라 웹사이트for Congress

The Congress바카라 웹사이트won nine바카라 웹사이트seats, down from 30 in 2017. As per expectations, the party's tally remained바카라 웹사이트within single digits.바카라 웹사이트

However, the Congress party appears to have regained support from the Muslim electorate of Delhi.바카라 웹사이트Congress candidate, and a student of Jamia Milia Islamia, Ariba Khan won from Abul Fazl Enclave of Jamia Nagar, a muslim-dominated locality. The political analysts are of the opinion that the recent trend of Kejriwal to embrace Hindutva had not been taken by the Muslim voters in a good manner.바카라 웹사이트

Kejriwal's silence during the Shaheen Bagh movement against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019 and his keeping away from the 2020 Northeast Delhi Riots were not well received and affected his vote bank in the Muslim-dominated areas. Notably, the voters have gone back to Congress in these localities.바카라 웹사이트

Celebratory mood in AAP camp

On the day of the results, just like the previous times, the AAP office were decorated and one could observe there a new slogan - ‘Acche Hoge 5 saal, MCD mein bhi Kejriwal’.

In the initial stage of the counting, it was a very neck to neck fight - sometimes leading to the apprehension that BJP might retain its 15 years' old bastion. However, with the time, the trends changed to favour AAP, though the results are not as pollsters had predicted.
