BJP’s Ravinder Singh Negi Defeats AAP in Patparganj
The Patparganj seat has slipped from AAP’s grip as BJP’s Ravinder Singh Negi defeated AAP candidate Avadh Ojha by over 22,000 votes. This marks the end of AAP’s winning streak in the constituency since 2013, where former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia had been the dominant force.
Sisodia had switched to the Jangpura seat this time but faced defeat there as well. Meanwhile, Negi’s victory solidifies BJP’s hold in the constituency.
