As Delhi poll trends show a strong victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the recently held Delhi Assembly Elections, Congress' Milind Deora tweeted wishes congratulating the Delhi CM. In his post, Deora congratulated AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal stating that this time the winner was 'bijli, sadak, paani' (electricity, roads, water) signifying the claims that Kejriwal made regarding the 'development' that he has done for the city.
Congress 'accepts' mandate
On the other hand, Milind Deora's Congress failed to win even a single seat in the Delhi elections this year. Soon after the trends released, in a press conference, Congress spokesperson, Randeep Surjewala accepted the mandate and congratulated the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party which is currently leading in 62 seats as of now. Surjewala stated that the Congress is ready to accept the role of Opposition and that the party needs to refurbish itself entirely from ground level.
