After giving Shiela Dikshit a chance to rule for 15 years straight, Delhi seems to be in mind to keep the party at bay for a long time.Congress, which had run a campaign on good olds days, seems to have been forgotten by the national capital as the party has failed to save its deposit on 67 out of 70 seats
Only three seats where it managed to score enough votes to save deposits were Gandhi Nagar, Badli and Kasturba Nagar.
Even Alka Lamba, who had won the Chandni Chowk seat from an AAP ticket in 2015, failed to save her deposit.
A candidate forfeits his or her deposit if they fail to secure one-sixth of the total number of valid votes cast in the constituency
In Assembly elections, candidates deposit Rs 10,000 to Election Commission before the polls, if they fail to achieve one-sixth of votes, their deposit is forfeited.
