BJP’s Muslim Candidates Draw a Blank in Delhi’s MCD Polls

The BJP may have registered a stunning victory in polls to the three municipal corporations in Delhi but all its five Muslim candidates lost in their respective wards.

Except BJP candidate Rubeena Begum from Quraish Nagar, the four remaining Muslim candidates of the party finished a distant third.

The BJP had fielded six candidates from the Muslim community for the MCD elections, but the nomination of one candidate was later cancelled by the Delhi State Election Commission.
