MCD by-elections: BJP loses to AAP, Congress
New Delhi, May 17 (IBNS): In a big setback for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), it has lost its grounds in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) by-elections to Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress.
The AAP, which made its debut in the civic polls, won five seats.
The BJP also lost to the Congress party, who bagged four seats.
However, it is disappointing for the AAP as it was hoping to win all the 13 seats.
An independent candidate who won is also likely to join the Congress.
The BJP, which dominates the 272-member civic body, has managed to get only three of the seats that voted to fill vacancies after councilors contested and won the state election.
