Confident of forming the government in Delhi with a majority, Aam Aadmi Party leaders have started celebrating already.
While vote counting for the February 8 Delhi Assembly election is underway, early trends suggest a landslide victory for the incumbent party that is leading in 56 of the 70 constituency seats at the moment. Its rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the other hand, is leading in only 14 seats. The Congress party, which had ruled the National Capital for 15 years before Arvind Kejriwal’s clean sweep, is yet to open its accounts.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Sanjay Singh took to Twitter to announce the party’s imminent victory and wrote: “The Delhiites have proven that their son (Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal) is not a terrorist. By helping him clock in a majority win, Delhi has helped established that Kejriwal is, in fact, the real patriot.”
Other AAP leaders such as ND Gupta and Sushil Gupta have started celebrating at the party headquarters, euphoric by the trends reflected on the Election Commission website. According to news agency ANI, commenting on the possible favourable outcome of the vote counting, Singh also said: “Aj Hindustan jeet gaya (India won today)”.
