New Delhi [India]: Sahiram Pahalwan, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Tughlakabad Vidhan Sabha, has expressed strong confidence in his party’s success in the Delhi Assembly elections, predicting that AAP will secure over 62 seats.
He attributed the expected victory to the public’s satisfaction with the developmental work done under Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s 10-year tenure.
Speaking to media on Wednesday, Pahalwan said, “People are happy with the development that has happened in the last 10 years in Arvind Kejriwal’s government. They are coming out in large numbers to bless us… BJP people create tensions. Wherever something goes wrong, BJP’s involvement emerges… We will win more than 62 seats.”
Similarly, Sunita Kejriwal, wife of AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, also voiced her confidence in Delhi’s voters, emphasizing their ability to make the “right choice.”
Addressing reporters earlier in the day, she stated, “People of Delhi are very intelligent. We trust them. They don’t tolerate ‘gundagardi.’ So, we firmly believe that the people of Delhi will make the right choice.”
