MCD election 2017 results: Is AAP's defeat due to anti-Kejriwal wave rather than pro-BJP?

For a party that won two back-to-back Assembly elections in Delhi, the AAP's struggle to remain relevant in the national capital as well as the anger of its voters towards the party is a statement on the fast-changing political environment in the country, which now seems to be dominated by a Modi wave.

The MCD election results have sealed the fate of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). These MCD election results appear to have confirmed the downward slide of AAP and rise of BJP.

Arvind Kejriwal, who entered politics with a 'mission', seems to have lost the connect with the masses. But in light of its defeat, why is the party leadership grappling to concede with its vanquishment.
