New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party in a massive majority claimed almost the entire Delhi winning with a thunderous majority of over 90 per cent seats in a 70-member assembly.
Bringing in former IPS officer Kiran Bedi as its face in Delhi polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party thought that it would be able to make a mark yet again like it did in all the elections in recent past. The party inducted Bedi just a few days before the polls and announced her as its CM candidate.
However, she failed to make a mark in the national capital. 2015 being the first election for Bedi, the BJP fielded her on the safest seat - Krishna Nagar - which has been held by party leader Harshvardhan since 1993. Ironically, she could not catch the pulse of her constituency too and is now in a nail-biting battle with her closest rival AAP's SK Bagga, leading with just over a 1000 votes.
Decimated to single digits, the party is struggling to even get the Leader of Opposition post in the Assembly. The party is leading in merely 4 seats, three seats short of the 10 per cent seat requirement to get the Leader of Opposition in the 70-member Delhi Assembly.
