Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief, Arvind Kejriwal lost the polls to BJP's Parvesh Verma. Other top leaders of the party including Manish Sisodia and Saurabh Bharadwaj were also left biting dust after the results for the elections that took place on Wednesday.

Next debacle took place after the Haryana election result as pollsters forecast Congress victory with predicted seat range of 44 to 64. However, the BJP won the polls securing 48 seats.
