Adesh Gupta had previously stated that the AAP will serve as the MCD mayor and the BJP will serve as a ‘strong opposition’ on Friday, putting a stop to rumours that the party will still seek the mayor’s seat despite losing the civic elections.
Prior to the civic elections, a number of BJP officials had made suggestions that the party try for the mayor’s position.
Notably, the AAP on Wednesday defeated the BJP in the closely watched civic polls. AAP scored 134 of the 250 wards, while the BJP won 104. The BJP had overseen the MCD for 15 years.
