Both the national parties, the BJP and the AAP have been putting in the maximum efforts to ensure that the Mayor, along with maximum members in the Standing Committee, are elected from their party.
The Aam Aadmi Party Saturday claimed the BJP will support an Independent candidate for Delhi mayor and challenged it to field its own candidate for the top MCD post.
"PM had to walk 50 kms, knock on doors of voters, our challenge forced them to sweat it out in the streets," he told NDTV adding that AAP's spirited campaign made BJP top leaders, including the PM, knock on doors of voters.
Just as Aam Aadmi Party has accused the BJP of running 'Operation Lotus', the BJP is now accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of running 'Operation Jhaadu (broom AAP's election symbol)".
