Delhi elections results 2015 AAP Ki JEET
- AAP - 67
- BJP - 3
- Cong - 0
- Oth - 0
Arvind Kejriwal had appealed for a majority this time. Delhi has given him an assembly with virtually no opposition. His Aam Aadmi Party is now leading in 64 of Delhi's 70 seats, a win of gigantic proportions.
The BJP has registered a nightmare result. It is leading in only five seats. Nine months ago, it had swept the capital's seven Lok Sabha seats and was the single largest party in assembly elections held in December 2013 with 31 seats.
Mr Kejriwal, 46, was showered with flower petals as he stepped out to speak to the packed crowds outside his party office a little before noon. By his side was his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, making a rare appearance.
"We will always walk the path of truth," Mr Kejriwal said, to loud cheers, adding, "It is very scary, the kind of support the people of Delhi have given us."
A whopping 53 per cent share of the vote has powered the AAP avalanche. The BJP's vote share is almost unchanged from last time at 33 per cent.
The Congress, in complete decimation, has lost 15 per cent in vote share and will win no seat in Delhi, which it ruled for 15 straight years till 13 months ago.
Earlier, as he tracked results at the AAP office in west Delhi's Patel Nagar, Arvind Kejriwal munched on namkeen and told NDTV that he had "no nervousness at all as we knew people were with us."
"I promise to be the janta's Chief Minister," he said. Outside his three-storey party office a giant board reads, "Janta ka CM (The chief minister of the people)".
He already has an invitation for a "chai pe charcha" from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who tweeted, "Spoke to @ArvindKejriwal & congratulated him on the win. Assured him Centre's complete support in the development of Delhi."
His main rival in these elections and one-time associate in activist Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement, Kiran Bedi of the BJP wished him well and also said, "The defeat is mine... it is not a referendum on PM Modi."
This is the first major setback for PM Modi since he registered a massive win in the national elections in May last year. The BJP had won most recently held state elections.
