[caption id=“attachment_3405366” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.

AAP leaders, including deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia were huddled at chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence as the trends showed a poor show by the party. The prospects of a “massive” defeat loomed large over AAP, close on the heels of the bypolls for Rajouri Garden Assembly seat where BJP-Akali Dal candidate won while party candidate lost his security deposit. Trends showed that AAP was trailing far behind BJP which has been accused by the Kejriwal led party of “corruption and mismanagement” during its 10 year rule. Voting for 270 of the total 272 municipal wards was held on 23 April. Two wards where candidates died, voting was cancelled.
