The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on Wednesday, dislodged the BJP from power in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) after the saffron party's uninterrupted 15-year rule, securing a majority in the elections to the civic body.
According to official results after the counting of votes, the AAP has won 134 wards out of a total of 250 wards while the saffron party, which had been ruling the civic body since 2007, bagged 104 seats. The Congress finished a poor third with nine seats while Independents bagged three wards. Addressing party workers and candidates after his party’s victory, a jubilant Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal thanked the people of Delhi for bringing a change and sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “blessings” for making the city better.
