For the BJP, Pankaj Kumar Singh bagged the Vikaspuri seat, Pawan Sharma won in Uttam Nagar, Sandeep Sehrawat emerged victorious in Matiala, Kuldeep Solanki triumphed in Palam, Kailash Gahlot netted Bijwasan, Parduymn Singh Rajput came out ahead in Dwarka, and Neelam Pahalwan prevailed in Najafgarh.
