In 2015 Delhi Assembly Elections, he came back to power after AAP won 67 of the 70 seats.
With counting still in place, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi – Manish Sisodia has won from Pataparganj seat. He defeated BJP’s – Ravinder Singh Negi by 3,000 votes. AAP leader – Raghav Chadha also claimed victory from Rajinder Nagar.
Addressing the workers of AAP, Kejriwal said, “I thank people of Delhi for reposing their faith in AAP for the third time.”
