As the initial trends showed AAP taking a clear lead in the Delhi Assembly Elections, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said that he will take full responsibility for the outcome of election results.
Manoj Tiwari, who had earlier claimed that BJP would win 56 per cent vote share in the Delhi elections, has agreed that there is a vast gap in the number of seats, but is still hopeful for a majority.
"As the trends come in, I agree there is a gap in the numbers, but we are catching up at a good speed, and anything can happen at this point," Manoj Tiwari said.
"I am not disappointed. I have not given up," he added.
When asked if he would take responsibility of the poll results, Manoj Tiwari said, "I stand firm, and take full responsibility for the outcome. As the results unfold, I am still hopeful, he said."
Earlier in the day, Manoj Tiwari had made big claims about winning the elections with more than 48 seats. He also declared that all exit polls would fail and BJP would come to power in the national capital.
Manoj Tiwari expressed confidence ahead of results

However, Manoj Tiwari stated that he had full faith in God that everything would work out in BJP's favour.
