New Delhi, Mar 11: The BJP's impressive show in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa were the talking points on Thursday. On the other hand the Aam Aadmi Party made histrionics by trouncing the Congress in Punjab.
With the elections done, all eyes would be on the formation of the governments. However there would be no drama involved as the people have given a straight forward mandate.

Congratulations to @BJP4India on their outstanding performance yesterday. @INCIndia will yet prove a worthy adversary. As my colleague @AalimJaveri put it, we have lost but are not defeated. Our convictions, values & the spirit of our legacy are deeply rooted & will prevail.

Date for MCD polls was to be announced at 5 pm on March 9 but the same day an hour ago, Centre wrote to State EC to combine all 3 civic bodies into one, & that polls should be delayed. EC agreed to do so...Not okay if polls are cancelled, weakens EC role: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
Main motive wasn't the unification of all 3 MCDs. Had they wanted, they would've done it in last 7 yrs. Motive was to postpone polls...I appeal to the PM with folded hands that if we force EC to cancel elections, it weakens it & the country. We've to protect the nation: Delhi CM
