New Delhi, 7th Dec. The Delhi BJP Pant Marg office looked lively on Wednesday, despite the fact that the party was still trailing the AAP in MCD polls.
According to the State Election Commission update, the Aam Aadmi Party had won 82 MCD wards by 12.00 PM, the BJP 62, and the Congress four, as vote counting continued at 42 polling stations across Delhi.
“We have to wait until the final election results come in our favour,” said Praveen Shankar Kapoor, spokesperson for the Delhi BJP. Nobody will break the half-hour mark, I am certain. We will be in a better position.”
He claimed that by failing to give AAP a clear halfway mark, the people of Delhi will send a message that they have rejected the party.
When asked about Congress’s poll performance, he said, “Congress has done well, and I congratulate Congress on their recovery.” He continued, “In the 2020 election, they had barely received 4% of the vote, and now, when they are receiving nearly 13-14% of the votes, it is a good recovery for them and, moreover, it is a good sign for democracy.” The close race has put party workers and supporters on edge, and they were likely to be mentally preparing for an adverse outcome as they prepared to celebrate.
The entire BJP office, which is heavily guarded, is decorated in the colours of the Bharatiya Janata Party — orange and green.
The MCD has 250 wards, with a simple majority of 126.
The counting of votes cast in the MCD elections on December 4 began at 8 a.m. Wednesday, amid tight security.
On December 4, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) held a high-stakes election for the 250 wards, sealing the electoral fate of 1,349 candidates in voting machines.
In the elections, a voter turnout of 50.48 percent was recorded.
The outcome of this election, which was widely said as a three-cornered fight between a spirited AAP, a confident BJP, and a hopeful Congress, could have ramifications beyond the national capital.
Both the AAP and the BJP have expressed confidence that they will win the elections, as the Congress attempts to reclaim lost ground.
