Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal, in his first address after the Delhi Assembly election results were declared, indicating a massive victory for the incumbent party, said people of have chosen the politics of development.
As its supporters cheered for AAP over its landslide victory, Kejriwal said that it was due to the blessings of Lord Hanuman that the party retained power.
"I love you," Kejriwal said to joyous supporters and party workers at the AAP's headquarters in the national capital.
During the highly-charged poll campaign, the BJP called Kejriwal anti-Hindu. Even in a TV News channel debate, Kejriwal was asked by an anchor to recite Hanuman Chalisa and the AAP leader obliged. That prompted BJP's star campaigner Yogi Adityanath to say that "after Kejriwal, (Assadudin) Owaisi will also recite Hanuman Chalisa."
