Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: BJP has won the MCD 2022 election by securing 154 seats out of 250, whereas AAP and INC got 87 & 08 seats respectively.
Fact: As per the official data released by the Delhi State Election Commission, seats won by the contesting parties are, AAP- 134, BJP-104, INC-09, Others-03. Even though the video talks about the initial leads, the title, description, and thumbnail of the video say the BJP won the election by winning 154 seats.
