AAP wrests MCD from BJP but here's why Delhi mayor might be a 'close contest'

India Today  

The AAP claimed a decisive victory in Delhi civic polls, winning 134 wards in the national capital. Chandigarh has a BJP Mayor, for instance.” WHY DELHI MAYOR FROM AAP IS NOT A GUARANTEE Even though AAP got majority in Delhi civic polls, mayor post may not necessarily fall into its lap. In the election for the 36-member Chandigarh civic body earlier this year, the AAP won 14, while the BJP and the Congress claimed victory on 12 and eight wards respectively. However, one AAP vote was declared invalid and the BJP got its candidate elected as Chandigarh mayor. ALSO READ | AAP ends BJP's 15-year hold on Delhi civic body, wins MCD polls with thin majority
