AAP scripts history with a 62-seat lead in Delhi

February 10, 2015 10:35

So, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party is on course to script history as the party is headed towards a landslide victory with a clear lead in a staggering 62 seats in the 70-member assembly while its nearest rival BJP was ahead in only 07 seats. The Congress has so far notched a big zero. The INLD was ahead in one seat.

AAP chief Kejriwal was leading in the prestigious New Delhi constituency while BJP's Chief Ministerial nominee Kiran Bedi was trailing in Krishna Nagar seat, considered a traditional stronghold of the party. Congress' Ajay Maken was trailing in Sadar Bazar seat.

Expressing happiness over the party's performance, AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said, "it was not just under class, but the middle class also voted for AAP. The (Narendra Modi) juggernaut seems to have halted at least for now." Reacting to the election trends, BJP said the polls were a referendum on Kejriwal and it should not be linked to the performance of Narendra Modi government.
