The poll results in National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi appear to buck the national trend as BJP has done exceptionally well in this region. The Delhi seats were seen as a cut-throat electoral fight between BJP’s Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal led India bloc. But the broom-in-hand camaraderie did not work well for the AAP in the NCT Delhi, as the voters preferred to choose BJP candidates in the Lok Sabha elections, unlike their choice for MLAs in the Assembly polls.

Delhi’s jailed chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was out on bail to campaign for INDIA bloc, failed miserably to lure voters with his freebies offers. BJP’s newbie Bansuri Swaraj, the daughter of the late Union minister Sushma Swaraj, won the New Delhi seat. Swaraj was pitted against AAP leader Somnath Bharti, who had vowed to get his head shaved if Narendra Modi retains prime ministerial post for the third time. The voters are facing open nullah, mosquito menace, parking issue, etc.
