New Delhi, Feb 08: BJP’s Parvesh Verma, the son of another former Chief Minister, defeated AAP chief and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by 3,182 votes in his New Delhi stronghold. This was a stunning defeat for the IAS-turned-politician who gained notoriety with Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign.
Kejriwal, battling corruption charges and the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ controversy, won the New Delhi seat for the first time in 2013 after defeating the then Delhi Chief Minister and veteran Congress leader Sheila Dikshit. He went on to win the high-profile seat in the 2015 and 2020 polls with hefty margins.
