Sapna Singh

In his first interaction after an impressive victory in the Lok Sabha polls, BJP leader and political debutant Gautam Gambhir has launched tirade against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Referring to pamphlet controversy, Gambhir hit out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for stooping too low just to get one parliamentary seat.

In a joint conference with BJP Lok Sabha candidates and with Delhi BJP president  Manoj Tiwari, Gambhir attacked Kejriwal and said, " Main CM sahab ko bolna chahunga ki chunaav aenge-jaenge. Jis din aap apna zameer aur imaan haar jaenge us din sab haar jaenge. Ek seat jeetne ke liye agar aap aisa ghinona arop laga sakte hain to mere pas zyada shabd nahi hain un ke baare main baat karne ke liye. (I want to tell the CM that elections will come and go, but the day you lose your conscience and morality, that day, you will lose everything. If he can level such disgusting allegations for mere one seat then I don't have words for him),"

Showing brotherhood spirit, Tiwari, who defeated Congress candidate and former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit by over 3.66 lakh votes, said, "The party candidates participated in the elections with positivity which they derived from their leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

Showing gratitude towards Dikshit, Tiwari said, "I was scared from inside while facing a three-time Delhi chief minister and Congress veteran as my opponent."

 "Party chief Amit Shah extended courage and told me that I will win from North East Delhi," said Tiwari while addressing media first time after winning the general elections. 

 Meenakshi Lekhi and Ramesh Bhiduri , re-elected from New Delhi and South Delhi seat respectively were absent due to health issues.
