The BJP retained power in Delhi’s three municipal corporations for a third consecutive term on Wednesday, in what is seen as an overwhelming rejection of the Aam Aadmi Party just two years after it won a brute majority in the Delhi assembly elections.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity as well as a decision to drop almost all its sitting councillors helped the BJP not only buck anti-incumbency but also strengthen its grip over the three civic bodies it first won 10 years ago.
