AAP leader claims BJP & Congress voters also want to see AAP in power for next 5 years

After all exit polls indicated a majority for Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Admi Party (AAP), Saurabh Bhardwaj of AAP said on Sunday that the voters who earlier used to vote for the Congress or the BJP want to see the AAP in power for the next five years. 

"People who were even sitting on the Congress table were voting for the AAP. I think this time Congress and BJP voters voted for the AAP. They also want to see AAP in power for the next five years. People have voted for good governance, positive, forward-looking and a modern Delhi," Bhardwaj told ANI.

Jibe at Delhi BJP Chief

Bhardwaj opined that BJP's 'negative' agenda did not work and said: "Now, as the BJP is scared to see other states slipping out of their hands, for the next two days the BJP will prepare trolls showing that the people of Delhi are fools and anti-India."

Taking a jibe at Delhi BJP Chief Manoj Tiwari, Bhardwaj added, "I can bet that if you take Manoj Tiwari to Bawana and tell him to drive to his house in Lutyens' Delhi, he will take three days but still won't be able to reach his destination. He doesn't know anything about Delhi."
