New Delhi. The BJP has declared its candidates for the Delhi MCD Mayor and Deputy Mayor elections. On the last day of nomination, today Delhi BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva informed Raja Iqbal Singh as the candidate for the post of Mayor and Jai Bhagwan Yadav as Deputy Mayor. Now that the Aam Aadmi Party has decided not to field its candidate in the mayor’s election, it is sure to become the Mayor of BJP’s Raja Iqbal Singh and Jai Bhagwan Yadav’s deputy mayor in terms of number force.
