Voters reject AAP, choose BJP for development: Delhi BJP chief Sachdeva

The BJP's Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva Saturday said the people of the national capital have completely rejected the "corrupt and incompetent rule" of AAP and has paved the way for the city's development by giving his party a "historic" mandate. The BJP cleaned out the AAP in Delhi and returned to power after more than 26 years, extending its saffron imprint and dealing a devastating blow to the Arvind Kejriwal-led party whose top leadership crumbled or barely made it. This electoral victory reflects the people's trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the leadership of BJP national president J P Nadda, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, said Sachdeva in a statement. "The people of Delhi have completely rejected the corrupt and incompetent rule of AAP and Arvind Kejriwal while expressing their faith in the BJP by giving it a decisive majority," he said. The Delhi BJP chief said Kejriwal had repeatedly claimed to be honest and had asserted that the people of Delhi would take ..

Kejriwal's ex-allies blame his shift from alternative politics for defeat

The Aam Aadmi Party's loss in the Delhi polls on Saturday triggered sharp reactions from Arvind Kejriwal's former colleagues in the party and in the 2011 India Against Corruption movement who blamed his "shift" from the idea of providing an alternative politics for the defeat. They also accused Kejriwal of shattering the dreams of those who supported the anti-graft movement. Maharashtra based activist Anna Hazare, who led the 2011 anti-corruption movement for a Jan Lokpal bill that brought the then ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to the negotiation table blamed the liquor scam for AAP's defeat. Hazare, who was against forming a political party, parted ways with his protege Kejriwal after he formed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2012 following the movement. "With the liquor policy issue came money and they drowned in it. The (AAP's) image was tarnished. People saw him (Arvind Kejriwal) talking about clean character and then about liquor," he told reporters in Ralegan Siddhi .
