TextEditorHaving suffered a setback in the recently held civic polls, the BJPтАЩs Delhi unit is pulling out all the stops to win the cityтАЩs seven Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general election.
To analyse its performance in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls тАФ in which the BJP won 104 wards against AAPтАЩs 134 wards in the 250-member House тАФ the party mapped the results on the cityтАЩs Lok Sabha seats and found that it trailed AAP in five. According to the analysis, seen by Today News 24, the BJP suffered the most in the South Delhi constituency, represented by Ramesh Bidhuri, where it trailed AAP by over 80,000 votes. In the West Delhi Lok Sabha seat (Parvesh Sahib Singh), AAP was ahead by almost 60,000 votes. In Union Minister Meenakshi LekhiтАЩs New Delhi constituency, the BJP was behind AAP by more than 42,000 votes.
The party also fared poorly in the North-West constituency (Hans Raj Hans) and the Chandni Chowk constituency (Harsh Vardhan).
A senior party leader said, тАЬThe party and the workers now want the MPs to let the Delhi unit do its job. The 2024 election is not very far and this report does not bode well for us.тАЭ
тАЬTwo MPs have been meddling in the organisational work to push their agenda. This report is a message to the MPs that they must stop interfering in the organisationтАЩs work and focus on their constituencies,тАЭ he added.
The two seats where the party did comparatively better were North-East Delhi, represented by the partyтАЩs former Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari, and East Delhi represented ex-cricketer Gautam Gambhir.
