The BJP swept the MCD elections. AAP, however, blamed its defeat on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). 

"EVM manipulation is the bitter truth behind the crushing blow to the AAP in the municipal polls," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.

Senior minister in the Delhi government Gopal Rai said, "This isn't a Modi wave, this is an EVM wave. The same happened in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It is a major threat against democracy. The rights of the electorate will have to be ensured."
