The elections to the urban local bodies are due in a couple of months, with the results expected by July 15, according to a state election commission official.
According to Ashwini Upadhyay, the Delhi unit spokesperson of the BJP, in the MCD elections out of 185 corporators, as many as 181 are first timers. "The party gave tickets to 262 first timers in the MCD polls out of the 270 seats it contested," Upadhyay said.
"It will give priority to youngsters and may adopt the MCD poll strategy to not only beat the anti-incumbency factor, but also better its tally," the leader said.
The BJP emerged as the clear winner in the MCD elections with 184 seats in its kitty, bettering its existing strength of 138. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came a distant second with 46 seats in all the three Delhi municipal corporations, while the Congress could just manage to win 30 seats and others got 10 seats.
"At the same time, we will try to better our previous tallies," he said.
Dilip Srivastava, a former BJP corporator said the results of the MCD elections would certainly act as a morale booster for the partymen.
