BJP spokesperson GVL Narsimha Rao said local issues dominated the elections.
"I do not see in this way," he said when asked whether the elections were a referendum on Modi's performance.
"In this election it was a referendum on Arvind Kejriwal. That's how people of Delhi saw it. I think people have certainly voted for Kejriwal. It was a referendum of AAP's 49 days in office and its performance. People felt they should be given a chance," he said.
