BJP-SAD joint candidate Manjinder Singh Sirsa has bagged 40,602 votes, which is over 50 per cent of the total votes polled in the bypoll, the result of which was declared yesterday, while Congress' Meenakshi Chandela finished second with 25,950 votes.
AAP's Harjeet Singh managed to get only 10,243 votes, less than one-sixth of the total votes polled and lost deposit.
"Both the Congress and Arvind Kejriwal have been rejected by the people of Delhi. There is total disenchantment among the workers of both the parties and each day some of them are switching over to the BJP," Tiwari said at a press conference here.
Tiwari also claimed that a woman worker of the Congress has levelled harassment charges against Maken and other top party leaders.
