Moreover, the civic polls are largely seen as a three-way contest between the BJP, the AAP, and Congress.
According to the exit polls, Aam Aadmi Party will win the elections of the municipal polls.
However, in the MCD elections, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP will rule the municipal corporation of the national capital for the first time.
