PRIME Minister Narendra Modi conceded an overwhelming defeat in a local election in India's capital, his first setback at the polls since taking charge of Asia's third-biggest economy last year.
Aam Aadmi Party, a two-year-old party led by anti-graft activist Arvind Kejriwal, was ahead in 66 seats in the 70-member assembly, Election Commission results showed. Mr Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party led in three seats, with Sonia Gandhi's Congress party left with zero.
