This election was about the very existence of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ji.

To save her own credibility and that of her government, Rekha Gupta ji…

…went to every single ward many, many times.

A day before the election, in the ward where voting was to be held,

in the Ashok Vihar ward, they even distributed free gas cylinders there.

But the litmus test that the newspapers were talking about till two days earlier…

…that in the litmus test of a ten-month-old government, the government would either pass or fail,

in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s own wards,

the wards that had been carved out for them inside the ward delimitation…

…in which the Bharatiya Janata Party had won,

even those wards the Bharatiya Janata Party lost this time.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s tally dropped from nine to six.

The Bharatiya Janata Party will say it is not six but seven,

then we still have a screenshot of the Election Commission’s website…

…and that will remain forever.

Ashok Vihar ward, where in the last month alone Rekha Gupta ji went ten times.

The Chief Minister went to this ward ten times in the last month.

They are distributing cylinders at night, the election is the next day.

On the night of the twenty-ninth they distributed cylinders, and even there Rekha Gupta ji’s party lost.

They lost by 179 votes.

It was declared on the website.

Congratulations started coming in.

And then I do not know what manipulation they did…

…that they ended up declaring the Bharatiya Janata Party the winner inside Ashok Vihar.

I would say this to the TV cameramen, that you pick up your mics just like that…

…and go out to Ashok Vihar once again,

the public will tell you who was winning and who was losing.

But even despite this dishonesty, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s tally went down.

Mundka, which is the ancestral village of Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma ji,

the Aam Aadmi Party won in Mundka as well.

And in this election, what Arvind Kejriwal ji had promised his workers…

Arvind ji sent me to every assembly constituency…

…and I delivered his message in every assembly constituency, whether there was an election or not…

…that in the upcoming elections the party will, only and only, field its own workers as candidates.
