Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)‘s controversial leader Amanatullah Khan is currently trailing from Okhla assembly as per the early trends of the Delhi Assembly Election results.
Counting of votes began on Tuesday (11 January) for the Delhi Assembly polls that were held on 8 February.
The constituency is witnessing a triangular contest between AAP’s Khan, Congress’ Parvez Hashmi, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)‘s Brahm Singh.
While, Khan has often been in news for his Islamist remarks, recently he has been accused of inciting violence during the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protests in the capital city.
