New Delhi: In a bid to "infuse fresh blood" into the upcoming municipal polls, the Delhi BJP has decided to drop all its sitting councillors from the list of candidates. The announcement was made by the party's Delhi chief Manoj Tiwari in a press conference here today.

"We have unanimously decided to field fresh faces in the municipal elections. Even family members of the councillors and party leaders will not be given tickets," he said. The move is seen as a gamble by the BJP, which has been in power at the civic bodies since 2007, to pre-empt the AAP and Congress from cornering it over charges of corruption against the sitting councillors.
