The BJP, which was predicted to suffer a massive defeat in exit polls, put up a spirited fight, winning 104 municipal wards.I want to thank and congratulate all the people of Delhi from the bottom of my heart. This historic mandate is not ordinary, it is the advent of a huge 'badlaav' (change), a huge 'parivartan' in the MCD now, Kejriwal said at the party headquarters at the Rouse Avenue. Beaming with happiness, he said he had no words to express how blessed he felt seeing the faith of the people of Delhi in their son, in their brother.I will live up to your expectations now.

The 250 councillors don't belong to any single party but to Delhi, it is upon your shoulders to carry the burdens of the common people now. I expect that all the parties will forget their divides and work in sync for Delhi to grow, he said. Among those who need to cooperate to help Delhi grow, the role of the central government is paramount, he said.Through this platform, I appeal to the Centre and the prime minister to cooperate with us and seek their blessings for our incoming government. We will depute every single Delhi'ite towards the cause of cleaning Delhi. We, the two crore people of Delhi, are one family. It is time to own up responsibility like a family.

We don't have to indulge in negativity. We don't have to fall into their traps. They used to say building schools and hospitals doesn't convert into electoral wins, Delhi has shut everyone's mouths today, he added. Reiterating that India won't grow unless schools, hospitals are built, he said that no one will be able to stop the country from becoming number 1.We have won the fourth election today by talking about education, healthcare, electricity and water. Delhi has signalled the country that only positive politics can prosper going forward. We ran a positive campaign. We talked to the people about their issues. We took feedback on our work. We did not hurl abuses, hurt anyone or harm any sentiment.We talked about our merits. We walked the talk. I know for a fact that when the storm of positive politics takes over the nation, then no one will be able to stop India from becoming No 1.
