The defeat in Delhi is the latest in a string of setbacks for Modi’s BJP in regional elections over the past two years. Modi, whose party won a second landslide in national elections last year, congratulated Kejriwal and his party. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s (left) party Bharatiya Janata Party suffered a lost to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in an election for control of the capital New Delhi. The protests against the nationality law are the biggest challenge faced by Modi since he first became prime minister in 2014. Supporters of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) carry a boy dressed as the party's leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as they celebrate at the party headquarters in New Delhi, India.
