Atishi gets teary-eyed as AAP loses to BJP in Delhi: ’I have won but it is not a time to…’
- Atishi fought tears while speaking with the media as AAP lost to BJP in Delhi. She said, ‘I have won but it is not a time to…’
Delhi's outgoing Chief Minister Atishi got emotional as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lost to the saffron wave that Prime Minister Narendra Modi created in the national capital. While AAP lost to the BJP, Atishi won the Kalkaji seat, where she defeated Ramesh Bidhuri and Alka Lamba.
With tears in her eyes, Atishi said that although AAP had won the Kalkaji seat, it was not the time to celebrate, asserting that the party would continue the fight against the BJP.
“I thank the people of Kalkaji for showing trust in me. I congratulate my team, which worked against ‘baahubal’. We accept the people's mandate. I have won, but it's not a time to celebrate but continue the ‘war’ against the BJP,” Atishi said, adding, “I thank party workers who braved BJP's hooliganism; will continue our struggle for people of Delhi, country.”

Meanwhile, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal addressed the people of Delhi, conceding the party's defeat in the Delhi assembly elections.
AAP national convener and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, “We accept the mandate of the people with great humility. I congratulate the BJP for this victory, and I hope they will fulfil all the promises for which people have voted for them.”
“We have done a lot of work in the field of health, education and infrastructure in the last 10 years. We will not only play the role of a constructive opposition but will also remain among the people and continue to serve them,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
