BJP’s outreach move ahead of Madarihat bypolls
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up for a 'public outreach' campaign in the Madarihat Assembly segment, as it seeks to retain the seat in an upcoming by-election.
Delhi BJP’s state president Adesh Gupta resigned from the post on Sunday after the saffron party’s defeat in the Delhi Municipal Corporation elections.
According to the reports, Adesh Gupta has submitted his resignation to the party’s national president JP Nadda, who has accepted it.
In the MCD elections, BJP won 104 seats out of 250 wards, while the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal won 134.

The new acting president will be Virendra Sachdeva. According to sources, “Adesh Gupta resigned after the loss in MCD election last week. His resignation has been accepted by Delhi BJP high command and new acting president will be Virendra Sachdeva who was on Vice President post in Delhi.”
The polls for 250 wards in the national capital were held on December 4, with about 50 per cent voter turnout and a total of 1,349 candidates in the fray. However, the low voter turnout did not prove to be an indicator of pro-incumbency.
