Live! AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal defeats Sheila Dikshit

December 08, 2013 15:31

Arvind Kejriwal and Kumar Vishwas appear at the window of the AAP office in Delhi to a shower of petals. Amid chants of Bharat Mata ki jai, a beaming Kejriwal says it is a victory of the people, the country.

Kerjiwal and the AAP certainly took a risk by contesting the polls against Sheila Dikshit, but the party wanted the voter to know that they were not afraid and were serious about their debut.

If AAP loses, (BJP: 21, AAP: 18) Kejriwal will be the leader of the opposition in the assembly. If AAP wins, the chief minister of Delhi.

BJP still to get the magic figure of 35 seats.
