Delhi has 'rejected CM, elected PM': Yogendra Yadav on MCD results

April 26, 2017 12:27

Delhi has made its preference for the BJP abundantly clear, Yogendra Yadav, the founder of Swaraj India, said today.

The result, said Yadav, reflects the people's anger with the government that is headed by Arvind Kejriwal - the men were part of the same Aam Aadmi Party till two years ago Mr Yadav and another senior AAP leader Prashant Bhushan were evicted after taking on Kejriwal.

The ballooning of the BJP in this election for three local corporations, Yadav said, owes everything to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "People have ended up rejecting the CM (Chief Minister) and electing the PM," he commented on NDTV.

Yadav said his own Swaraj India does not expect much today. "This is a starting point, this is not our election to gain big seats, it was a foundational election," he claimed.
