After facing a shameful drubbing in the MCD elections, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has become a butt of joke on Twitter. Twitteratis have been trolling Delhi CM for his inability to take accept Aam Aadmi Party's defeat sportingly.

Refusing to accept people's mandate, Kejriwal and his party men have launched the same rhetoric of rigged EVMs. As BJP looked set to take over the civic bodies for next five years, AAP leader Ashutosh said," The miracle is possible only when there is problem in EVMs...If the manipulation continues.. then democracy is in danger."

As AAP seems to be losing ground in its home turf, Twitter is abuzz with tweets related to #MCDresults.

The BJP on Wednesday took an early lead in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls, heading ahead in 180 wards while rivals Congress and AAP were left far behind leading in 38 and 39 wards respectively, initial trends indicated.

The high-stakes civic polls were held on 23 April which saw a voter turnout of 53.58%, a shade higher than in the 2012 elections.

The three main players — the AAP, the BJP and the Congress — had campaigned intensely ahead of the polls and all of them are expecting a favourable mandate, even as an exit poll has predicted a “landslide victory” for the saffron party.

Polling was held in 270 of the 272 wards of the three municipal corporations. The election to two wards has been postponed due to the death of candidates.

The verdict is expected to reshape the political equations in the country’s power capital. The result will also determine whether the sway of Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP, which had stunned all by bagging 67 seats out of 70 in the 2015 Delhi assembly polls, still holds and whether the party would be able to put behind its humiliating Rajouri Garden bypoll defeat. Kejriwal’s party had also suffered a defeat in Punjab and a whitewash in Goa assembly polls.
