NCP chief congratulates AAP for achieving ‘sweeping victory’ in Delhi elections
Mumbai/UNI/IBNS: Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar congratulated the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for achieving a ‘sweeping victory’ in the Delhi Assembly election on Tuesday, saying that the 'Modi -Shah' magic has 'failed' in Delhi.
The 79-year-old leader claimed that the BJP indulged in divisive politics and misused the official machinery for getting the election result in their favour.
However, the people of Delhi have rejected it outright, the former Union minister said and pointed out that it happened earlier (Oct 2019) in Maharashtra.
A similar result will mirror in the next Lok Sabha election, warned Pawar.
Nine months after getting crushed by the mighty Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duo in the 2019 General Elections, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal came back like a Phoenix in the assembly elections on Tuesday riding on the issues of governance challenging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s agenda of nationalism.
Though the voter turnout was slightly less than the 2015 assembly elections, Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) went passed 60 seat mark (62) to reduce the BJP to single-digit figure reminding the saffron party of its horrific result five years ago in the national capital.
Even as the BJP picked up the fight in the second and third hours of counting on Tuesday by crossing the 20 seat mark, the AAP came back strong to touch 62, five less seats than the last assembly polls, leaving eight for the BJP and a blank for the grand old party, the Congress.
