The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday won seven of the twelve wards in the bye-elections for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

The polls took place on Sunday.

The BJP won in Ashok Vihar, Chandni Chowk, Dwarka-B, Dichaon Kalan, Greater Kailash, Shalimar Bagh-B and Vinod Nagar.

The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party won three wards: Dakshin Puri, Mundka and Naraina.

The Congress won the Sangam Vihar-A war while the Chandani Mahal ward was won by the All India Forward Bloc.

BJP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the Hindutva party's victory was a “strong testament to the tireless hard work, dedication and collective strength of our diligent workers and the organisation”.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said that in 10 months since his party lost the Assembly polls to the BJP, “the public's trust is once again rapidly returning towards the Aam Aadmi Party”.

“Delhi is very soon returning towards positive politics and good works,” he said.
