Arvind Kejriwal blames faulty EMVs for AAP defeat; Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken offers to resign after MCD poll

 After losing the Delhi election, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said today that the results indicate an "EVM wave, not Modi wave". The party has decided to launch a national campaign against what it alleges are faulty EVMs or Electronic Voting Machines.  

"This chamatkari (magical) victory of the BJP - this is only EVM lehar (wave) not Modi lehar,"said Gopal Rai, adding, "The entire country has to think how to be free of this EVM-wave."

Arvind Kejriwal met with his top lieutenants including deputy Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai as it became clear in early counting that AAP was losing in Delhi just two years after it came to power with a spectacular mandate in state polls. The leaders together watched the results on TV of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi or MCD elections held on Sunday.
