MCD Elections 2017

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi alleged on Thursday that the BJP has not fulfilled its promises made ahead of the 2017 civic polls in Delhi.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's beleaguered Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress have split apiece the two Delhi municipality wards for which by-elections were held this weekend. Both parties add to their meagre number of seats in the three corporations to which elections were comprehensively won by the BJP last month.

In April, election at Sarai Pipal Thala and Maujpur wards was postponed after the candidates died, while voting in the rest 270 wards of Delhi's three municipal corporations was held on April 23. The results were announced on April 26.

BJP councillor Kamaljeet Sehrawat, who had won the civic polls by a record margin, was today elected unopposed as the mayor of South Delhi as the new team of the area's civic body also took charge.

The BJP may repeat its strategy of denying tickets to sitting councillors, as it did in Delhi municipal corporation polls, in Uttar Pradesh for the civic body elections in the state.

The changes in the Aam Aadmi Party's organisation structure promised after its debilitating defeat in the Delhi municipal elections this week could go right up to the top, senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas indicated on Saturday. In an interview to NDTV, the 47-year-old said the party was doing well under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind ...

As his Aam Aadmi Party grapples with the stinging defeat in the Delhi municipal elections, Arvind Kejriwal today admitted that the party had "made mistakes", adding that there was need to "introspect and course correct".

A day after it registered a big win in Delhi's main civic body election, the BJP said on Thursday that it has started shortlisting candidates for the post of Mayor in the three municipal corporations that come under the MCD. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is divided into three sub-corporations - the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, the South ...

In a clear hint that the Aam Aadmi Party is going beyond blaming voting machines for the party's crushing defeat in the Delhi civic polls, the AAP's political affairs committee that met on Thursday to analyse the poll debacle concluded that the party "primarily" needed to rebuild its organisational structure.

The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday appointed Delhi's Labour Minister Gopal Rai its new convenor of the Delhi unit, a day after it suffered a humiliating defeat in the MCD polls.

A day after Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken and the party's in-charge for the state PC Chacko sent in their resignations assuming moral responsibility for the debacle in polls to Delhi's three municipal bodies, party vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday asked them to "continue to do the work they are doing."

In perhaps the closest fight in the civic polls, an AAP candidate lost a ward in south Delhi to her BJP rival by a margin of just two votes.

Arvind Kejriwal, emerging from a debilitating election in Delhi, today listed a series of dos and don'ts for the 48 candidates from his party that have been elected to Delhi's Municipal Corporation.

Kejriwal's words have proved prophetic as an arrogant AAP lost Punjab, Goa and finally, Delhi. I was hoping that after the MCD results; there would be some serious introspection and course correction. The first two days have given a mixed response.

It would be a wild exaggeration to suggest that Kejriwal is the standard bearer of a "revolution", much as he may like to think himself as one.
