Who Will Be Delhi CM? This Is What BJP Chief Answered

The Aam Aadmi Party was ahead in 27 seats, according to the early trends released by the Election Commission. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal was leading by 343 votes from the New Delhi seat.

Delhi Chief Minister: As the BJP was leading in 43 of Delhi's 70 assembly seats, there has been a curiosity among the people about the name of the next chief minister. BJP's Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva on Saturday said the central leadership will decide the name for the top post.

The Aam Aadmi Party was ahead in 27 seats, according to the early trends released by the Election Commission. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal was leading by 343 votes from the New Delhi seat after three rounds of counting. However, Kejriwal's former deputy Manish Sisodia was trailing by 1,314 votes in Jagpura.

“The results so far are in line with our expectations but we will wait for the final outcome,” Sachdeva told reporters after offering prayers at the Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place.

According to Sachdeva, BJP candidates had worked diligently and Delhi’s voters had chosen development and a corruption-free governance model. 

"The people have picked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership because they wanted a model of development," he added.  "We have no hesitation in saying that this win is a result of PM Modi’s vision. We will ensure that Delhi gets a strong and stable government," Sachdeva added.

He accused Kejriwal of avoiding accountability and said, "Whenever we questioned him on these issues, he either stayed silent or ran away. He tried to win elections by making false promises."
