New Delhi: Certain of clinching all the seven seats in the national capital, the BJP continued to dominate the trends with two of its candidates taking the lead by a margin of over 3.40 lakh votes while the Congress and AAP trailed at the second spot in five and two constituencies respectively. BJP went into celebratory mode with jubilant supporters of the saffron party starting to burst crackers and shouting slogans at various counting centres.

BJP’s incumbent MP from West Delhi, Parvesh Verma was leading with a maximum margin of over 3.49 lakh votes while Congress’s Mahabal Mishra was at the second spot. Verma had won from the constituency in 2014 with a record margin of over 2.68 lakh votes, the highest in the national capital ever.

Singer-turned-politician Hans Raj Hans followed him by a margin of over 3.40 lakh votes in the Northwest Delhi constituency where he is pitted against AAP’s Gugan Singh, who is in second position and Congress’ Rajesh Lilothia at the third spot.

Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, who contested from the Northeast Delhi constituency against Congress veteran and former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and AAP’s Dilip Pandey, was leading by a margin of over 2.99 lakh votes.

Tiwari said they (BJP) were sure of victory but did not expect such a ‘huge’ margin. “We were confident of the victory but were not expecting this kind of huge margin. I am indebted to the voters for imposing their faith in us,” said Tiwari.

“The kind of treatment that AAP has meted out to me always, the public has always observed it and voted accordingly. We have crossed the first hurdle in Delhi and will now gear up for the second one in February (Assembly elections),” Tiwari added.

Cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir, who is making his electoral debut from East Delhi constituency, was leading by a margin over 2.38 lakh votes. Gambhir is locked in a contest with Congress’ Arvinder Singh Lovely and AAP’s Atishi.

Incumbent MP from New Delhi, Meenakshi Lekhi was also ahead of Congress’ Ajay Maken by a margin of over 1.98 lakh votes while South Delhi’s sitting MP Ramesh Bidhuri was leading by a margin of over 2.26 lakh votes against AAP’s Raghav Chadha on the second spot.

“People have voted for the work done by Modi government. The previous governments were afraid of taking strong decisions. I worked according to the vision of the Modi government and based on that people have voted for me and have given a clear majority to the BJP,” Bidhuri told reporters.
