We will not only play the role of a constructive opposition but will also remain among the people and continue to serve them,” the former CM said.
Kejriwal is set to lose to BJP candidate Parvesh Verma from New Delhi constituency. According to the Election Commission of India, Verma is leading by over 4000 votes against Kejriwal with counting for the last round still under way.
BJP will comeback in Delhi after more than 26 years, sweeping away AAP from the national capital in another big win to extend its saffron footprint in the country. Meanwhile, Congress is headed for its third straight whitewash in Delhi, drawing a blank once again after 2015 and 2020.
