major defeat for the BJP, which has controlled the MCD for the past 15 years.

corruption in the MCD appears to have been effective.

performed admirably despite the BJP deploying its top officials to Delhi for
the MCD election campaign.

color:#2E2E2E">The BJP's approach of linking the Delhi local election to
national issues and bringing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "development
for all" message to Delhi residents' doorsteps has failed to halt the
AAP's ascent.

carrying out fundamental urban projects now that it controls both the Delhi
government and the municipal council.

and east. Before the election, the three were consolidated into a single
entity.
