With results of the Delhi elections expected to be declared on Tuesday, February 11, a little girl was spotted making an ‘All the Best’ Rangoli outside the AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s residence. Earlier she had attended Kejriwal's swearing-in ceremony at the Ramlila Maidan as his special guest. Dressed in a maroon sweater and a black muffler and sporting a false moustache, she looked like a little 'Arvind Kejriwal'. 

Rangoli outside Kejriwal’s residence 

Years later, the little girl was spotted making a Rangoli outside Kejriwal’s residence that says, ‘All the Best’. The message was being written with rose petals to wish the AAP chief for his party’s victory in the assembly elections. As per the poll of all the exit polls, AAP is projected to win the 2019 Delhi assembly elections but with a reduced majority as compared to 2015.  

“I am here to wish Kejriwal uncle and I want him to congratulate him in advance. I really like him," she said.

As per sources, Kejriwal is expected to visit the AAP headquarters at around 9 am on Tuesday. This comes as the early trends for the elections are expected to start unfolding from 8 am.
