Delhi BJP overhaul in offing after MCD drubbing

New Delhi, 8/12: An organisational overhaul in Delhi BJP is afoot in the light of the party’s defeat in the MCD election, the party leaders said on Thursday.

 

 

The clamour for change was evident even as the party trailed behind the AAP during counting of MCD election votes on Wednesday. The party lost the polls to the AAP, which bagged 134 of the 250 wards.

 

Even in a meeting on the result day, state president Adesh Gupta had said that the post of president needed to be respected because the post did not just represent the person but the “prestige and authority of the organisation.”

 

He also urged the party workers to not give credence to any conspiracy gossip floating around to upstage him, said a senior leader present in the meeting.
