AAP triumphs in mayor, deputy mayoral polls in MCD
AAP’s Mahesh Kumar Khichi defeated his BJP rival with a narrow margin of three votes, securing 133 votes against Kishan Lal’s 130.
Owning moral responsibility for the AAP's debacle in the municipal elections, senior party leader Dilip Pandey on Wednesday resigned as the party's Delhi convenor.
He sent his resignation to Delhi Chief Minister and party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
"I have resigned from the post of AAP Delhi Convenor and conveyed to National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal to give this responsibility to someone else," Pandey tweeted.
