Kejriwal visits Hanuman mandir after victory, says Hanuman ji has blessed us

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday paid obeisance at the famous Hanuman temple near Connaught Place as his party headed for a landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly polls. Kejriwal was accompanied by his family and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

From the temple, Kejriwal will go to the counting centre to collect his winning certificate from the New Delhi assembly.

After winning the election, Arvind Kejriwal said the party's landslide victory in the capital was a blessing of Lord Hanuman.


Kejriwal was addressing volunteers at the party office for the first time after he got a clear majority in the Delhi Assembly poll results on Tuesday.

Kejriwal had been mocked by the BJP after he recited Hanuman Chalisa on TV and visited a Hanuman temple a day before polling.

Addressing the gathering, Kejriwal said: "Delhi has given the message that they will vote for those who will provide schools, cheap electricity and hospitals. This is a new kind of politics. It is a new and good sign for the nation."

Kejriwal said a new kind of politics has been born today -- "the politics of work".

"This politics will make us of the 21st century India," he said.

"It is Tuesday and Hanuman ji has blessed us. We, the 2 crore people of Delhi, will make the city beautiful," the Chief Minister said, thanking everyone for the victory.

"My family also supported me. It is my wife's birthday. I had cake, you will also get it," Kejriwal said.
