Delhi Elections: Prashant Kishor Thanks Voters For AAP Victory
New Delhi: Poll strategist, Prashant Kishor, thanked the voters of Delhi for electing the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), as trends put the party miles ahead of the BJP. Kishor took to Twitter to say that the voters of Delhi had saved the soul of India.
Prashant Kishor, who was formerly with Nitish Kumar's JDU, has in recent weeks been critical of the BJP. Kishore has voiced his strident opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC). He was expelled from the JD-U by Nitish Kumar after he went public with his views locking horns with the party chief and Bihar chief minister.
Thank you Delhi for standing up to protect the soul of India!

Former President of India, Pranab Mukherjee's daughter, Sharmistha Mukherjee, expressed her disappointment on Twitter over the performance of the Congress. She regretted that Congress had been decimated in Delhi again. Mukherjee observed that there had been enough of introspection, and that it was time for action now.
Sharmistha Mukherjee also pointed a finger at the "inordinate delay in decision-making at the top, lack of strategy and unity at state level, demotivated workers, no grassroots connect"— all factors added up. She added that as someone who is a part of the system, she too takes her share of responsibility
