Delhi BJP has now appeared to have turned from its earlier emphasis on claiming the mayor seat in the MCD. This is quite clear from the Delhi unit party chief Adesh Gupta who has recently declared that his party will play the role of the opposition in the MCD.
The matter was very close in the results, in such a situation, political pundits were speculating about cross-voting. This is because the election for mayor is not held on the party line. There the councilor does not have any party but personal rights. The whole process of voting is also based on a secret ballot.
Though he did not fail to point out that his party has done fairly well and got very good strength in MCD. He also maintained that the AAP could not give the kind of performance that it did in the assembly, so we will prepare for the coming days and the next elections.
On the day of the MCD results, many BJP leaders claimed that the mayor of the Corporation would be theirs. Although now it is saying that it will amicably play the role of a strong and responsible opposition in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
