Delhi MCD bypoll: Setback for BJP as AAP, Cong win bypolls from Maujpur, Sarai Pipal Thala wards

New Delhi, May 23 (UNI) In a setback for the BJP, which secured a huge victory in the recent polls to the three Municipal corporations in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress secured a victory in the bypolls for the Maujpur and the Sarai Pipal Thala wards respectively. The AAP, which has in recent weeks, been faced with charges levelled by sacked minister Kapil Mishra on the alleged corruption in the Delhi Government, received a shot in the arm after its candidate Reshma Nadeem won the Maujpur MCD bypoll while Congress won the bypolls for the Sarai Pipal Thala ward. Ms Nadeem registered her victory with a margin of 699 votes following recounting of votes. The Congress managed to secure the second spot while the BJP stood at the third place. Ms Nadeem secured 9,374 votes while the Congress 8,675 and the BJP 5,763 votes. In Sarai Pipal Thala, Congress' Mukesh Goyal defeated BJP's Mangatram Sharma by 2,743 votes. The outcome of the two seats is a major setback for the BJP, which registered a landslide victory in the recently- concluded MCD polls. Reacting on his party's candidate victory, Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken in a tweet congratulated party workers and said that they have worked hard in the by-election. The elections to the wards were not not held with the April 23 MCD polls due to the death of the candidates from the two seats. The bypoll on both the seats were held on May 14 and 21. The Maujpur ward comes under East MCD, while Sarai Pipal Thala in North MCD. UNI DS-AR RSA 1415
