The BJP has won wards in Kishan Ganj, Rohtas Nagar, Dilshad Garden, Krishna Nagar among others.

Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi expresses gratitude to the people of Delhi for reposing faith in the BJP and ensuring its resounding victory in MCD polls.

The BJP on Wednesday said it will not celebrate its victory in the civic polls but "dedicate" it to the 25 CRPF troopers who died in a Maoist attack in Sukma.

"We won't celebrate this victory and will dedicate it to the CRPF personnel who lost their lives in the Sukma Maoist attack," Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari told reporters here.

On Monday, 25 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed in one of the deadliest Maoist attacks in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district.
