We were expecting a win as we have worked very hard. I have a team working with me, even those not associated with the BJP. The kind of response I got from the people indicates they want to see a change now in the positive direction
Meenakshi lekhi,
New Delhi MP
All credit goes to BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and the legacy of my late father Sahib Singh Verma for my victory. People of West Delhi have rejected both the Congress and the AAP and have voted for change in the country. Ab achche din aane wale hain, kyunki Modi sarkaar rule karne aa rahi hai
Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma, West Delhi MP
....This was our first (general) election. It is a good start though we are a bit upset with the Delhi results. We could have done better in the national Capital
Arvind Kejriwal,
AAP convener
We respectfully accepted the people’s mandate and promise to play a positive role in days to come. We also thank lakhs of party workers who put in extra work in the run-up to the elections
Mukesh, Delhi Congress chief spokesperson
I know the intricate problems of Chandni Chowk and they have never been addressed before. Basic redevelopment plans have been hanging by a string and despite of formulation, action has been missing
Dr Harsh Vardhan, Chandni Chowk MP (BJP)
We expected to lose Delhi but getting defeated in this manner has hurt us. We will sit down and analyse the reasons behind this defeat. We lacked in propagating Manmohan Singh Government’s achievements and could not read the resentment among the people
Sandeep Dikshit, Congress candidate from East Delhi
I have chalked out a plan for the constituency and have learnt the problems of the constituency in the form of my poem. Traffic system, hospitals and Signature Bridge top my list of priorities
Manoj Tiwari,
North-East Delhi MP
I am somewhat disappointed with the performance of AAP in Delhi. I had expected the party to do fairly well. But we have got more votes. In the Assembly election, we had got over 30 per cent votes while in the lok Sabha (polls) we got more than 33 per cent
Prashant Bhushan,
AAP leader
