NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party on Saturday regained power in the nation's capital for the first time in 27 years, a boost for the Hindu-nationalist leader after a disappointing national election last year.
Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party won 48 of the 70 seats in the Delhi capital district, well ahead of the 22 for the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of Arvind Kejriwal, a fierce critic of Modi, data from the Election Commission of India showed.
