Win of Delhi people, defeat of 'hooliganism': CM Arvind Kejriwal on mayoral poll results
Live Updates: Delhi Mayor Poll
"The goons lost, the public won. In the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the people of Delhi won and hooliganism was defeated. Congratulations to the people of Delhi on Shelly Oberoi being elected mayor," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi without naming anyone.
"I assure you all that I will run this House in a constitutional manner. I expect you all will maintain the dignity of the House and cooperate in its smooth functioning".
First-time councillor from Delhi's East Patel Nagar ward, AAP’s Shelly Oberoi wins MCD mayoral polls.
She has worked as an assistant professor in Delhi University.
The 39-year-old councilor is also a lifetime member of Indian Commerce Association (ICA).
Shelly has received multiple awards at various conferences.
Shelly Oberoi defeated BJP's Rekha Gupta by a margin of 34 votes to become the mayor of Delhi.
The councillor has been awarded both the 'Miss Kamla Rani Prize' and a scholarship for achieving the highest grade point average among all the students in the college.
Oberoi polled 150 votes while Gupta received 116 votes out of the total 266 votes polled.
AAP's Shelly Oberoi with party councillors celebrates her victory in the mayoral election, at the Civic Centre in New Delhi.
The election of mayor took place in the backdrop of a Supreme Court order recently ruling against voting rights of 10 aldermen appointed by the Lt Governor VK Saxena.
Who is Delhi's new mayor: Shelly Oberoi 98148138
