New Delhi: The counting of votes for the Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) elections began at 8 am on Wednesday.
Votes for the elections are being counted at 35 centers across the city. Of these, 16 are in north Delhi, 13 in the south, and six in east Delhi.
Kejriwal’s media adviser has blamed ‘tampered’ EVMs for the BJP’s big win.
First results are in: BJP wins from Janakpuri West and Janakpuri East.
BJP looks set to finish with a 2/3rd majority in all 3 constituencies, as almost all trends are in.
With most of the trends in, BJP is far ahead of AAP and Congress. BJP leads in 52 out of 86 seats in MCD North, 63 out of 97 in MCD South, and 37 out of 54 in MCD East. AAP and Congress are now fighting for second place, with AAP inching ahead.
“Trends look in tune with what I saw during campaigning. People have faith in policies of BJP, and leadership of PM,” leader Dr Harsh Vardhan says.
BJP has now established a clear lead in all three areas – with around half the trends in. AAP has been relegated to third position in MCD East and South, and is neck-and-neck with Congress in MCD North.
Early trends show BJP leading in all three areas – MCD East, MCD North and MCD South. Congress is doing better than exit poll predictions in all 3 areas. AAP is at No 2 in MCD North, and No 3 in MCD East and MCD South.
