Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley termed his party's massive 4-0 victory in the 2013 assembly elections as an 'unprecedented' win saying it was the 'anti-Congress' wave at work.

The debutant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) found a mention when Delhi's results came up, and Jaitley wondered how long the Arvind Kejriwal-led party can sustain its charm. "AAP is a new party and people wanted to experiment by voting for the new party. How long this type of politics last, let's see," he said.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of BJP's victory in Delhi against the three-time chief minister, Sheila Dikshit, Jaitley said, "There is anti-Congress wave in the country and BJP will certainly benefit from it."

"It is an unprecedented victory as far as the BJP is concerned. For the third time we have won in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh," he added.
