Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party secured a landslide victory in the 70-member assembly while its nearest rival BJP was
reduced to single digits. The Congress headed for naught while INLD was ahead in 1 seat.
AAP chief Kejriwal lead in the prestigious New Delhi
constituency while BJP's chief ministerial nominee Kiran Bedi trailed in Krishna Nagar seat, considered a traditional stronghold of
the party. Congress's Ajay Maken got a defeat in Sadar Bazar
seat. Expressing happiness over the party's performance, AAP leader
Yogendra Yadav said, "it was not just under class, but the middle class
also voted for AAP. The (Narendra Modi) juggernaut seems to have halted
at least for now."
Reacting to the election trends, BJP said
the polls were a referendum on Kejriwal and it should not be linked to
the performance of Narendra Modi government.
"I do not see in
this way," BJP spokesperson GVL Narsimha Rao said when asked whether the
elections were a referendum on Modi's performance.
