Kejriwal lost his bastion in New Delhi to BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh by 4,089 votes. Meanwhile, the BJP is leading in 49 seats and the Aam Aadmi Party in 21 out of 70 seats.

“We have done a lot of work in the field of health, education, infrastructure in the last 10 years. We will not only play the role of a constructive opposition but will also remain among the people and continue to serve them,” Kejriwal said as he conceded defeat.

Outgoing Chief Minister Atishi said, “I thank the people of Kalkaji for showing trust in me. I congratulate my team who worked against ‘baahubal’. We accept the people’s mandate. I have won but it’s not a time to celebrate but continue the ‘war’ against the BJP.”
