Speaking to the crowd at the venue, Kejriwal addressed himself as the ‘son of Delhi’ and promised to work together with everyone for Delhi’s progress and development. He said:
This is not my win, this is the victory of every Delhiite, of every family. In the last five years, our only effort has been to bring happiness and relief to every Delhiite.
Further, he also spoke about the Opposition parties criticising AAP for its freebies. He said:
Some people say Kejriwal is giving everything for free. Nature has ensured every valuable thing in the world is free, be it a mother’s love, father’s blessings or Shravan Kumar’s dedication. So, Kejriwal loves his people and hence this love is free.
