AAP says postal ballots counted in first hour of vote count in Delhi civic body vote-count . Delhiites want to delist BJP from MCD, says BJP spokesperson .
New Delhi: The AAP said government workers, whose postal ballots were counted in the first hour, may have voted for the BJP in the wake of early findings in the Delhi civic body vote-count.According to senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, the charge was just an excuse.Therefore, the government seems to be in favour after the postal ballot count, which is typically in MCD and at the center.Once the EVMs open, you will see a decisive shift, he said.
They were available in April, but the government delayed the election.But the people have figured out their mind, says BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who was asked about the fear charge, said, I don't want to get into such nitpicking and alibi-making.The BJP is accused of attacking the electoral process when they lose, he said, even after 15 years of MCD rule.We'll wait. At the AAP headquarters in Delhi, balloons and commemorative posters were available, despite changing demographic trends as counting continued.Also, these are the first civic elections since the MCD split into three areas, essentially ten years ago, when the wards were redrawn.The BJP's new term came to an end early this year.Over 1,300 candidates are competing in the contest.
