The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic victory in the Delhi polls on Saturday. BJP returned to power after over 26 years in the national capital by defeating the Aam Aadmi Party.
Several AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister and national convener Arvind Kejriwal, lost in their strongholds. This result follows the BJP-led coalition’s success in the Maharashtra elections and its victory in Haryana, further cementing its dominance in national politics.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a grand welcome at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, as he arrived to celebrate the party’s thumping victory.
As per ANI, addressing the party workers at the BJP headquarters, PM Modi said, “I thank the people of Delhi. Delhi has given us love wholeheartedly and I once again assure the people that we will return you double the love in the form of development.”
“Today’s victory is historic. This is not an ordinary victory. The people of Delhi have driven out ‘AAP-da’. Delhi has been freed from the ‘AAP-da’. The mandate of Delhi is clear. Today, development, vision and trust have won in Delhi. Today, ostentation, anarchy, arrogance and the ‘AAP-da’ that had engulfed Delhi have been defeated. I congratulate every BJP worker and all of you for this victory,” he added.
