New Delhi [India]: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday expressed gratitude to the people of Delhi for their overwhelming support in the assembly elections, declaring that the national capital is now free from the “AAP-da (tragedy)” of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Addressing a jubilant gathering at the BJP headquarters following the party’s decisive victory, PM Modi assured the people that their trust in BJP would be rewarded through progress and development.
“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,” he said.
PM Modi took a swipe at AAP, emphasizing that the city now feels both excitement and relief.
“Today, there is excitement and relief in the minds of the people of Delhi. Excitement for victory and relief for making Delhi AAP-da free… I bow my head and thank the people of Delhi for believing in Modi’s guarantee,” he added.
The BJP secured a commanding victory in the Delhi assembly elections, winning 47 seats and leading in one more, while AAP managed to win 22 seats. Several key AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, suffered significant defeats.
PM Modi hailed the election results as a “historic victory.”
“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 declared.
