The Delhi MCD by-election was held in 12 wards, with voting conducted at 580 booths. A total of 51 candidates contested, including 26 women. These seats became vacant after the previous councillors were elected to the Assembly or Parliament. Chandni Mahal had the highest voter turnout at 55.93%. In the current 250-member MCD House, the BJP holds 116 seats, AAP has 99, the Indraprastha Vikas Party has 15, and Congress holds 8.

As the AAP and Congress work to rebuild their presence in Delhi, the BJP faces a crucial election, marking its first major test since its historic win in the February Assembly polls. After voting, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had encouraged citizens to cast their votes, emphasizing that voting is the key to selecting the right representative, which will help accelerate Delhi’s development.

The Delhi State Election Commission has established ten counting centres across the city, including locations like Kanjhawala, Pitampura, and Dwarka. Each centre will be responsible for counting votes in specific wards, with strong rooms where the votes are kept under strict security measures.

The Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are under constant CCTV surveillance and are being guarded by both paramilitary forces and Delhi Police.

In Shalimar Bagh-B ward, the election is between Anita Jain from the BJP, Babita Rana from the Aam Aadmi Party, and Sarita Kumari from the Congress. Anita holds a B.Com degree, Babita is a lawyer, and Sarita claims to have completed 10th grade.

Both the BJP and AAP are confident about their chances in the upcoming bypolls. The BJP believes it is fully prepared for the election and is optimistic about its performance. They feel that voters expect good results from them and are confident that their work in the Delhi government and MCD will lead to a strong win.

On the other hand, AAP leaders also expect to win a majority of the seats. They believe that public feedback shows clear dissatisfaction with the BJP’s performance and a strong desire for AAP’s more accountable governance. AAP officials pointed out that residents have noticed a decline in cleanliness, sanitation, and basic services in the past nine months, and they see AAP as the only reliable option to fix these issues.

The MCD has approved a major reform aimed at making business processes easier. On Tuesday, the MCD decided to link the General Trade/Storage License (GTL) with the property tax system.

This new change, passed in the MCD House, is designed to make it simpler for traders to follow the rules and reduce the bureaucratic challenges that have traditionally come with getting a trade license.

Under the new system, business owners will no longer need to file a separate application or keep an individual trade license. Instead, the trade license will be automatically included on the annual property tax receipt. The property tax slip will act as the valid GTL, as long as the business follows pollution control, fire safety, and other legal requirements.
