Coming to the FIRs, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claiming to be built on the foundation of honesty and transparency, had the maximum number of cases registered against it with 105 cases. On the other hand, 88 FIRs were filed against Congress and 86 were filed against the BJP.

According to Chief Election Commissioner, Vijay Dev, the data was collected between October 4, when the Model Code of Conduct was enforced in Delhi, and December 2.

"It was an incident free election, although a few cases of minor scuffle were reported from some areas. Model code of conduct was strictly implemented to provide level playing field to all political parties," he said.
