New Delhi, With Arvind Kejriwal looking all set for a third term as Delhi Chief Minister, congratulatory wishes are pouring in from leaders cutting across party lines.
Chief Ministers of Kerala and West Bengal wished Kejriwal as the trends of Delhi Assembly poll results showed a clean sweep for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
“Congratulations Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi results show Aam Aadmi Party all set to win the Election with a thumping majority yet again. Leaders playing on faith through hate speech ans divisive politics should take a cue, as only those who deliver on their promises are rewarded,” tweeted Bengal CM Banerjee.

Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill also tweeted mentioning three things that Congress should not do today: “1. Justify own defeat 2. Find happiness in BJP defeat 3. Tell themselves that in Election wins & losses are cyclic,” as he congratulated “AAP for a well-deserved victory and running a focussed campaign.”
