The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi retained the power with a brute majority, winning 63 of the 70 Assembly seats. After a daylong see-saw battle, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia won from Pataparganj seat. AAP leader Raghav Chadha also claimed victory from Rajinder Nagar. “People of Delhi have proven that Delhi’s son Arvind Kejriwal isn’t a terrorist but a true patriot,” said Raghav Chadha. We will work together for the development of Delhi, says Kejriwal as he concludes his speech with chants of “Bharat Mata ki Jai”
अपने बेटे को इतना प्यार देने के लिए दिल्लीवसियों का तहे दिल से शुक्रिया। आज दिल्ली वालों ने एक नई राजनीति को जन्म दिया “काम की राजनीति”। ये भारत माता की जीत है। जय हिंद। pic.twitter.com/q5xP8ytYvc

We accept the Delhi election result and congratulate Arvind Kejriwal and the people of Delhi. We tried our best but, probably, we could not convince people, says BJP’s Gautam Gambhir.
Exit polls had predicted another term for Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, the BJP, which powered its campaign on the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests at Shaheen Bagh, is likely to win right seats.
Congratulations @AamAadmiParty for a well deserved victory in the face of dirty tricks of the regime and a docile EC.
Congratulations to people of Delhi for defeating the most vitriolic campaign of communal hatred in recent times and stopping it from becoming a national template. https://t.co/IPgajWYXAc— Yogendra Yadav (@_YogendraYadav) February 11, 2020
As AAP inches towards a historic win in Delhi, Chief Arvind Kejriwal at the party office said, “Dilli walon ghazab kar diya aap logon ne! I love you”.
