BJP leaders expect better show in Delhi polls after Hry victory

NEW DELHI: The BJP's performance in neighbouring Haryana that surprised many on Tuesday may have an impact in the upcoming Delhi elections, with local party leaders hoping to put up a better show this time by highlighting the Centre's development work and welfare schemes.

The BJP retained power in Haryana, winning 48 of the 90 assembly seats in Haryana. The AAP, which has a government in Delhi and Punjab, could not win any seats despite fielding candidates in 89 constituencies. "The AAP won zero seat in Haryana this year and they will again get zero seats in Delhi Assembly polls next year," Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said.

Sachdeva said the party was confident about the assembly polls, and said it will campaign on the development work and welfare measures of the Modi government.
