Steamrolling opposition, the BJP swept the MCD polls, trouncing the Aam Aadmi Party that rules Delhi and decimating the Congress, in an election which was billed as a referendum on the Arvind Kejriwal government.
Delhi's overwhelming rejection of the AAP came barely two years into its meteoric rise in the 2015 Assembly polls, when it had clinched an unprecedented 67 of the 70 seats.
On Wednesday, AAP was left with just 48 wards in its kitty out of the 272 spread across the three municipal corporations in the national capital.
