Delhi mayor will be from AAP, says BJP

December 09, 2022 15:04

The BJP today said the next Delhi mayor will be from the Aam Aadmi Party as it got the majority in the Municipal elections.

"BJP will play the role of a strong opposition in the MCD," Delhi BJP President Adesh Gupta told NDTV today, adding that his party will not allow any corruption, and act as "a watchdog" in MCD.

"Delhi should be clean and MCD should do good work, it will be our priority," he added.

The BJP had suggested earlier that the AAP may have won the majority in the MCD polls, but the mayor's election is still an open game, while noting that Chandigarh, where its rival was the largest party, has a mayor from BJP.

The AAP on Wednesday dismantled the BJP in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi polls by winning 134 wards, ending the 15-year rule of the BJP in the prestigious municipal corporation and reducing the Congress to just nine seats in a House of 250.
