New Delhi: Delhi has given its verdict and chose Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the third consecutive term.
Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has recorded a landslide victory bagging 62 seats in the Assembly elections 2020. The BJP, on the other hand, has emerged as a distant second with 8 seats and the Congress once again failed to open its account.
True to the exit polls, AAP retained power comprehensively.
The three-cornered poll contest saw the AAP battle the BJP, whose high-pitched campaign was anchored by the Home Minister Amit Shah, and the Congress. This election also saw several candidates who could not win.
