‘MCD Mein Bhi Kejriwal’: AAP celebrates big win in MCD polls - Pics

New Delhi: An elated AAP after winning the MCD polls on Thursday vowed to improve civic amenities in the national capital while the BJP thanked voters for "recognising" its work as it took solace in securing over a hundred seats despite exit poll predicting its rout. The BJP, which exit polls had predicted would suffer a massive defeat, put up a spirited fight to win 104 wards. In what turned out to be a closer-than-expected contest, the AAP ended the BJP's 15-year stint in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) -- trifurcated in 2012 into north, south and east corporations and unified this year -- by winning 134 seats. The majority mark in the 250-ward civic body is 126.

The Congress won just nine seats while three wards went to Independent candidates. BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, on the other hand, said even after 15 years, the party retained its vote share on the basis of its work.
