"It Was Very Obvious": Priyanka Gandhi Responds To BJP's Win In Delhi
New Delhi, India: After BJP’s sweeping win in Delhi Assembly election, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that people “voted for change”. The Wayanad MP is the first Congress leader to respond to the devastating defeat the grand old party has faced. Congress miserably failed in clinching in any seat in the 70-seat assembly of the national capital.
Speaking to reporters, she said, “It was very obvious from all the meetings that people wanted change. They voted for change. My congratulations to those who won. For the rest of us, it just means we have to work harder and be responsive to people’s issues”.

The Congress leader’s husband, and businessman, Robert Vadra, also said that he was “not surprised” by the Delhi election results. “I am not surprised by the results because I think the citizens of Delhi were fed up with AAP. All the promises they made were not fulfilled—it was all just optics,” he said.

As per the Election Commission of India, BJP has won 11 seats and is leading in 37 constituencies. AAP has won in 10 seats, and is leading in 12 constituencies.
CPI national general secretary D Raja asked Congress to “learn proper lessons” from the results. “So Delhi election has given certain lesson. The INDIA bloc parties must learn proper lessons and must do proper introspection. Particularly, Congress, being the biggest pan India secular party, must do serious introspection on how to build the unity of secular democratic parties and on how to strengthen the INDIA bloc in the coming days,” Raja said.
