New Delhi: Even as the Congress registered its lowest vote percentage at less than five per cent in the Delhi elections, party leaders were busy on Tuesday in touting different reasons for the party’s debacle that came after a bit of resurgence seen in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
As per the latest Election Commission figures available, the AAP has garnered 53.65 per cent of the votes polled in the February 8 elections, the BJP 38.47 per cent and the Congress 4.31 per cent. he Congress, which again failed to open its account in the Delhi Assembly like in the 2015 elections, was unable to even save the security deposits of its candidates in almost all the seats it contested, barring one. Four seats were left for ally Rashtriya Janata Dal of Bihar.
The party’s best electoral performance in the Delhi Assembly elections came in 2003 when it bagged 48 per cent of the votes polled. (IANS)
