MCD Election 2017: BJP win a Narendra Modi and Amit Shah masterstroke, likely to have long-term implications
FirstpostThe results, which gave BJP two-third majority in all the three corporations and pushed AAP to a distant second and Congress to a poor third, have proved that the BJP’s strategy worked For once the loud drums, tonnes of laddus and rows of noisy firecrackers were missing at BJP headquarters to mark the party’s fabulous victory in the three municipal corporations in Delhi. BJP’s massive victory in Delhi’s municipal polls can be explained by only one factor — Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s continued and rising charisma. The results, which gave BJP two-third majority in all the three corporations and pushed AAP to a distant second and Congress to a poor third, have proved that the BJP’s strategy worked. The results of MCD elections also catapulted Manoj Tiwari, actor-singer of Bhojpuri films and MP from north-east Delhi, who joined BJP ahead of the Parliamentary elections as BJP’s face in the capital.
