After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) got absolute majority seats in Delhi civic polls results, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that BJP could have devoted more time to MCD elections if it had not coincided with the assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

The Assam Chief Minister asserted that his party will perform well in the Gujarat assembly elections results which will be declared tomorrow (December 8).

"Everyone said that BJP will win 60-70 seats in MCD elections, but BJP has gone ahead much more. If the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections didn't happen, then we could go ahead much more. We are hopeful that, we will perform very well in Gujarat assembly elections results tomorrow," Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

He further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity has been rising in every election.

AAP won the battle for control over the MCD uprooting 15-year rule by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in the polls that were held on December 4, for 250 wards in the national capital.

AAP won 134 wards while BJP came second with 104 wards. Congress managed to get 9 wards while three wards were bagged by Independents. (ANI)
