BJP's chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan today thanked voters for giving the party the maximum number of seats in 70-member Delhi assembly.

"I am confident that we will be able to serve the people of Delhi," he said, declining to take questions about the formation of next government as the party looked short of majority in the assembly.

Vardhan extended his wishes to Arvind Kejriwal of AAP and outgoing CM Sheila Dikshit, who is likely to lose her New Delhi seat.
