- Reacting over BJP's ‘historic’ victory, PM Modi declared that Delhi had been freed from “AAP-da.” “This is not an ordinary victory. The people of Delhi have driven out 'AAP-da'. Delhi has been freed from the 'AAP-da'. The mandate of Delhi is clear,” PM Modi said.
- The outgoing AAP managed to claim 22 seats after ruling in the union territory for two decades while Congress closed its account at a naught.
- Criticising AAP leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, for wooing voters with corruption issues, PM Modi asserted that those who previously accused others of corruption were now facing legal scrutiny themselves.
- During victory speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday slammed Congress following its abysmal electoral performance, saying it has hit a double hat-trick of 'zero' in Delhi elections.
"Today again the people have given a message to Congress. Congress has hit a double hattrick of 'zero' in Delhi elections. The oldest party in the country is not able to get even one seat in the national capital for the last six times. They are giving the gold medal of defeat to themselves," ANI quoted PM Modi as saying.
- PM Modi addressed a public gathering at BJP headquarters and accused AAP of blaming the people of Haryana “for their own failures.”
Targeting AAP over river pollution, PM Modi said, "The existence of Delhi itself has flourished in the lap of Mother Yamuna.

For their failure, such a big accusation has been made on the people of Haryana," PM Modi said while addressing the gathering at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters.
