Bhagwant Mann, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP's) chief ministerial candidate for Punjab received more than 93 per cent of the votes cast through phone and WhatsApp, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said today.

More than 21 lakh people participated in the vote, AAP said.

The auditorium erupted in cheers and slogan shouting as a montage on Bhagwant Mann played out on a giant screen.

"People laughed when they see my face. But now they cry and say, save us," Mann, a standup comic, said and quoted Dr Martin Luther King's famous lines: In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
