Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Saturday that the people of Delhi “voted for change” as they were “fed up with the way things were”. This statement comes as the BJP is likely to form the government in Delhi after 27 years.
The MP from Waynad told reporters that it was obvious during the party’s meetings ahead of the Delhi polls that people wanted change. She is currently on a three-day visit to Kerala.
“They were fed up with the way things were and they wanted change. I suppose they voted for change. My congratulations to all those who have won,” the Congress MP said, “For the rest of us, it just means we have to work harder, stay there, be on the ground and be responsive to the people’s issues.”
According to the latest trends by the Election Commission of India (ECI), BJP was in the lead on 45 seats out of 70 assembly constituency seats and AAP in 21. Both the parties have won two seats each so far as per the ECI website. However, Congress is most likely to repeat the performance for the third consecutive assembly polls of zero wins.
