As the initial trends of the counting of votes for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections showed a neck-to-neck contest between the ruling BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party, both political outfits exuded confidence in winning the polls.
In a neck-and-neck contest so far, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has gained an edge over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as per the initial trends in the counting of votes for the Delhi civic body polls on Wednesday.
The BJP maintained its lead over the Aam Aadmi Party in the initial trends of the counting of votes on the 250 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken an early lead in 78 wards over the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which is leading in 42 wards in the initial trends that have emerged after an hour of counting of votes for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections that began on Wednesday.
The counting of votes for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections began on Wednesday as the ruling BJP hopes to retain its 15-year-long rule in the national capital's civic body while the Aam Aadmi Party looks to make its own 'double-engine' government in the city.
The counting of votes for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election will be held on Wednesday to decide the winner of the high-stakes civic polls where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) face each other.
Aam Aadmi Party chief ministerial candidate Isudan Gadhvi cast his vote in the second phase of the Gujarat Assembly elections and said that he expects his party to win over 100 seats.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Parvesh Verma on Sunday attacked the Aam Aadmi Party by stating that it has a "habit of lying" and exuded confidence that they will get more than 80 per cent votes in the Municipal Corporation polls of the national capital.
The BJP, which has governed the civic body in Delhi since 2007, is looking to maintain its winning streak while the Aam Aadmi Party, which has a majority in the Assembly, is looking to make inroads in the first municipal election in the capital after the delimitation of wards.
