Delhi Election Results: Kumar Vishwas says ‘no sympathy’ for Arvind Kejriwal after AAP chief faces defeat
- Kumar Vishwas also alleged that Kejriwal crushed the dreams of AAP party workers for his personal ambitions.
As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) looks set to win the Delhi Assembly elections, former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and poet Kumar Vishwas on Saturday congratulated the saffron party, and said he has no sympathy for former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after the latter's election defeat.
Vishwas also alleged that Kejriwal crushed the dreams of AAP party workers for his personal ambitions.
“I congratulate the BJP for the victory and I hope that they'll work for the people of Delhi... I have no sympathy for a man who crushed the dreams of AAP party workers. Delhi is now free from him... He used those dreams for his personal ambitions. Today, justice has been delivered,” Kumar Vishwas said.
“When we got the news of Manish Sisodia losing from Jangpura, my wife, who is apolitical, cried...,” he added.
