"This the victory of the people who consider me as their son and voted for us," Kejriwal also said while addressing the party workers in Delhi.

AAP surged ahead of its rival the BJP in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha election 2020 as leads suggested the ruling party is all set to sweep the Delhi Assembly election.
