Delhi BJP meets today for soul searching post poll defeat

February 13, 2015 10:44

Three days after suffering an embarrassing defeat in the Delhi assembly elections, the state BJP leadership will meet in New Delhi on Friday to take stock of the results.

The meeting will be chaired by Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay, who did not contest February 7 polls.

The results on February 10 proved to be an embarrassment for the BJP which won just three of the total 70 seats.

In the last elections in December 2013, the BJP had won 31 seats emerging as the single largest party in a hung assembly ahead of the Aam Aadmi Party
