New Delhi: AAP leader Manish Sisodia survived a scare in the Delhi Assembly elections on Tuesday as he defeated BJP's Ravinder Singh Negi by a margin of over 3,500 votes.
People of Delhi have explained the true meaning of nationalism through their mandate, Sisodia said as he clinched victory on the Patparganj seat. The initial trends saw a seasaw battle between Sisodia and Negi.
Sisodia, who retained his seat for the third time, said the BJP indulged in "politics of hate", but people refused to be divided.
"I am happy to have won the Patparganj seat again. The BJP indulged in politics of hate, but I thank the people of Patparganj. Today, Delhi's people have chosen a government which works for them and explained the true meaning of nationalism through their mandate," he told reporters.
दिल से शुक्रिया दिल्ली.. पाँच साल के काम को सम्मान देने के लिए,... शिक्षा को सम्मान देने के लिए .... सरकार में रहकर देश के सब बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा देना ही सच्ची राष्ट्र्भक्ति है.— Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) February 11, 2020
Seen as a frontline face in Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s education and healthcare push in the national capital, Sisodia’s win has silenced those who questioned his decision to declare support for the Shaheen Bagh protesters in the face of a polarizing campaign by the BJP.
In 2013, Sisodia had won by a margin of 11,000 votes and in 2015 by over 28,000 votes.
