BJP has conceded defeat even before announcement of MCD polls: Kejriwal
India TV NewsMCD polls: Citing a media report claiming the Delhi civic body's law department is reworking the MCD Act to give the lieutenant governor more teeth, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the BJP has conceded defeat in the municipal polls even before they have been announced. Taking to Twitter, the chief minister exhorted Delhiites to not vote for the BJP and asserted that his Aam Aadmi Party will emerge victorious in the civic polls whenever they are held. "In a move that is likely to give more teeth to the Lieutenant Governor as an administrative entity, certain provisions of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 are being changed, which, according to sources familiar with the development, would give Raj Niwas the final say on matters related to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi," the media report stated. Reacting to the report, Kejriwal said, "This means the BJP has conceded defeat even before the MCD elections."
