Though BSP did manage to win a few wards in the 2007 municipal elections and a couple of seats in the 2008 assembly polls, it could never build on it to pose a serious threat to the two established players. AAP’s entry to electoral fray changed the equation and, in the 2013 Delhi assembly polls, the city witnessed a three-cornered fight for supremacy for the first time. The subsequent polls to Lok Sabha, Delhi assembly, and Municipal Corporation of Delhi saw AAP, BJP, and Congress vying for votes.
