NEW DELHI : In a shocker for the BJP and other national parties, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today swept Delhi like a Tsunami with a landslide victory in the Assembly elections in the national capital.
In the 70-member Assembly, the ‘rookie’ AAP has established lead in as many as 66 seats while the BJP, its main opponent, has been decimated with leads in just three seats. The Congress, which had ruled the city for 15 years till 2013, has been wiped out.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi telephoned Mr Kejriwal and congratulated him on the AAP’s victory promising him full support of the Centre in development of the national capital.
