"This election has proved that no other political party can defeat the BJP except for the AAP. This MCD election victory gives one message to the entire country that the AAP has to be strengthened to defeat the BJP," AAP Bengaluru president Mohan Dasari said in a statement.

He said strengthening AAP will help to throw ruling BJP out of power and fight against the challenges of price rise and unemployment.

Dasari said the party is poised to get similar response from the voters of Bengaluru in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) elections whenever it happens.

People of Delhi voted for the AAP looking at the performance of the Delhi government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Dasari said adding that the people in urban areas are getting attracted to AAP.
