The saffron party has been ruling the municipal corporation since 2007 and is facing a strong challenge from Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the next polls.
BJP's strategy is to polarise communities to such an extent that they would be able to get votes just on the religious lines, AAP spokesperson said.
In the last MCD polls in Delhi, the BJP had registered an impressive victory returning to power in the three corporations by winning a total 181 of 272 wards.
Voting for bypolls in five municipal wards in Delhi concluded at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday with 50.86 per cent of people casting their votes, according to the Delhi State Election Commission.
The Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava on Saturday reviewed the law and order situation and the security arrangements in the national capital, ahead of the municipal bypolls.
Over 70 nominations, including duplicate applications from some candidates, have been received by poll authorities for the February 28 civic bypolls, officials said on Monday.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday announced the names of the candidates for the Delhi Municipal Corporations (MCD) by-polls on three seats.
